Abstract: The training session is aimed at providing to the attendees’ practical skills in SDN and NFV, which are at the basis of several emerging paradigms, like 5G, MEC, etc.
All attendees will be able to participate to the hands-on activities and learn practical skills directly during the session by using their own laptops, since the software to use will be provided beforehand in the form of Virtual Machines – therefore only requiring users to run a proper virtualization environment (such as VirtualBox, freely available on the web), and avoiding compatibility / installation problems.
Indeed, most of the training session will be performed using open-source and freely available software tools to experiment with. Basically, attendees will be advised beforehand about the software to download and install (mostly Virtual Machines, therefore compatible with all platforms), so that they will be ready to participate to the hands-on experience. Such practical sessions will be explored step-by-step by the instructors as well as deeply documented through provided material (copy of the slides, websites, etc.).
Selected tools will include mininet and docker environments, that will enable (i) to build and run virtual network topologies, virtual switches and hosts, as well as actual services and (ii) to build, manage and operate NFV, respectively. Moreover, additional software will be used, such as OpenFlow controllers and other packages to build docker containers.
Instructions for the attendees will be provided through the following URL some days before IEEE Globecom 2019: https://bitbucket.org/granelli/sdn-training/
Periodically during the training session, the speakers will stop and ask questions or suggest exercises to the attendees in order to make the session as interactive and lively as possible.
The technical issues addressed by the tutorial will include:
- A brief introduction to recap the basic concepts of SDN and NFV;
- Software Defined Networking: the first topic to be addressed will be SDN, and especially OpenFlow as a practical example of an approach to implement SDN. Through the usage of a network emulator, attendees will first learn how to build proper topologies and instantiate hosts and switches, and then how to connect them to the controller using OF protocol to control the behavior of the network. After some basic exercises to analyze traffic and performance and learn OpenFlow through practical examples and scenarios, the session will focus on two advanced topics: (a) how to implement QoS using virtual OF queues on a switch; (b) how to slice an OF network using flowvisor/OpenVirteX and how to allocate traffic to each slice;
- Network Function Virtualization: the second part of the session will introduce the docker environment as a common framework to build Network Functions. The basic commands to build and run docker containers will be first reviewed, and then the training will focus on more advanced subjects, starting from monitoring and migrating docker containers and NFs to using dockers to support Mobile Edge Computing functionalities;
- Conclusions, discussion and homework activities: the speakers will leave additional time for questions for the audience as well as to provide additional material and links to further experiments.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ATTENDEES: The speakers will use a specific mininet/docker distribution for hands-on demos, called ComNetsEmu.
The ComNetsEmu environment is now publicly accessible: https://git.
The above website contains detailed documentation of how it can be installed /used. Participants are encouraged to download and install the ComNetsEmu onto their machines beforehand (Using option 1).

Industry Training 2 (IT-02): Emerging 5G Optics Interface and Connectivity Technologies
Date/Time: Monday, 9 Dec 2019, 09:00 – 12:30
Room: Marriott, Paniolo 3
Presenter:
- Dr. Frank Chang, Chief Engineer, Transceiver Design, Source Photonics, West Hills, USA
Abstract: This industry training course is intended for those component hardware and software engineers who would like to understand the connectivity requirements and applications of datacenter and 5G optics networking. It also benefits network engineers with some knowledge of high-speed optical communication technologies used to realize various datacenter and 5G network applications. For network planners and architects, this course provides outlooks in optical interconnect developments in the next 3 to 5 years. Besides datacenters, the optical interconnect technologies can be applied to mobile transport networks enabling 5G and fixed mobile access.
The training describes the emerging data center and 5G architecture, requirements and interconnection networking status. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth look at the development of various optical connectivity technologies which are making an impact on the building of data centers and 5G networks. The technologies span from short range connectivity, as low as 100 meters with multi-mode fiber (MMF) links inside data centers, to long distances of hundreds of kilometers with single-mode fiber (SMF) links between data centers.
Specific for 5G, since deployment of 5G networks began this year, the industry has already released a larger portfolio of optical transceivers serving front-haul and mid-haul requirements than was previously released in six years of LTE deployments. These enabling 5G optical interfaces vary in terms of protocol, data rate, reach requirements, PAM4 vs NRZ, bidirectional vs. unidirectional, and gray vs. colored, to just name a few. Rapid volume growth of 25G and even 50G interfaces will introduce new challenges in performance and temperature requirements for 25G grade lasers. Emerging aggregation needs are also driving proliferation of advanced 100G and beyond optical requirements. We will review the state-of-the art higher speed optical interfaces expected to be deployed for 5G front-haul and mid-haul architectures and applications.
This training plan for half day, and should enable the audience to:
- Understand trends in the modern networking architectures and structures
- 5G infrastructure, requirements and key technologies
- Understand optical interconnect requirements and applications
- Prevailing 5G optical transceivers and integrated circuits
- Describe the development of emerging PAM4 signaling and its impact on the building of data centers and pluggable modules.
- Compare different datacenter interconnect technologies and solutions for real-world applications
- Compare different standardized optical interfaces and modules and provides outlooks in optical developments in the next 3 to 5 years

Abstract:
This program, which is organized by the IEEE Communication Society Education Services Board (ESB) and IEEE ComSoc Young Professionals, aims to inspire the participants (PhD students, researchers and IEEE Young Professionals) through interaction with industry professionals on the benefits of getting involved in various IEEE volunteering, educational and standardization activities and how they can get started.
Session: 14:00-15:30
The program features a stimulating hands-on Demo Session on “Research & Development in 5G using NetSim® Simulation Software”. Researchers lack the requisite tools for simulating end-to-end 5G networks. There are a few ‘Link-level’ simulators that enable users to model a single link between the UE and the gNB. These can’t be used for end-to-end modelling of the network, from the UE to the host-server. Furthermore, they do not allow for modelling of the entire TCP/IP protocol stack. Open source simulators are very complex, do not have a GUI, not easy to use, require the knowledge of various scripting & programming languages, and come with no support. Hardware testbeds that can be customized is prohibitively expensive.
NetSim solves these problems and is used by 400+ organizations across 25+ countries. It is an end-to-end, full stack, packet level simulator and features an easy to use GUI with simple drag and drop functionality. The output of the simulation is available as an appealing Results Dashboard with tables and graphs. Protocol source C code is provided along with which can be modified by researchers to write their own algorithms/protocols.
In this session, attendees can experience first-hand how NetSim can be used to simulate 5G networks and in particular:
- 5G NR mmWave Network Design using NetSim UI
- 5G Simulation Parameters including SDAP, PDCP, RLC, MAC, PHY (FR1/ FR2) and mmWave propagation
- Performance metrics - Results Dashboard
- Visualization - Packet Animator
- Deep Analytics - Packet Trace and Event Trace
- Writing your own Code and interfacing with external software (Wireshark, MATLAB®)
Session: 16:00-17:30
This session features two invited talks, attendees can experience first-hand how NetSim can be used to simulate 5G networks and in particular:
- A Vision of 6G Wireless Systems by Prof. Walid Saad, Virginia Tech, USA
In this talk, we first identify the communication challenges of IoE services and how some of those challenges were addressed in 5G wireless systems. We then turn our attention towards the future of wireless cellular systems in an effort to identify the fundamental architectural and performance components of tomorrow’s 6G wireless systems. In this regard, we present a holistic, forward-looking vision that defines the key technological tenets of a 6G system, as extracted from its potential IoE applications. In particular, we show how 6G will not be a mere exploration of more spectrum at high-frequency bands, as has been commonly portrayed, but instead it will rely on a necessary convergence of emerging technological trends, such as artificial intelligence and human-centric communications, driven by exciting, underlying services. Within this vision, we start by identifying the primary drivers of 6G systems, in terms of emerging services and accompanying technological trends. Then, we shed light on the potential set of service classes that 6G is supposed to meet along with their target wireless performance requirements. For these delineated 6G services, we then identify enabling technologies and provide a panoramic view on the research efforts needed to meet the needs of 6G. Along the way, we present some preliminary results that motivate the identified research areas and that show some of the main features of 6G systems. We conclude the talk by providing concrete recommendations for the roadmap toward 6G.
