Software-defined wireless networking (SDWN) is an emerging paradigm in the era of the Internet of Things. In cloud-based SDWNs, resource management is separated from the geo-distributed cloud, forming a virtual network topology in the control plane. Thus, a centralized software program is able to control and program the behavior of the entire network. In our work, we focus on resource management in cloud-based SDWNs, and discuss the competition and cooperation between cloud service providers. We present a N
In the era of the Internet of Things, all components in intelligent transportation systems will be connected to improve transport safety, relieve traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, and enhance the comfort of driving. The vision of all vehicles connected poses a significant challenge to the collection and storage of large amounts of traffic-related data. In our work, we propose to integrate cloud computing into vehicular networks such that the vehicles can share computation resources, storage resource
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology enables bidirectional energy flow between electric vehicles (EVs) and power grid, which provides flexible Demand Response Management (DRM) for the reliability of smart grid. EV mobility is a unique and inherent feature of the V2G system. However, the inter-relationship between EV mobility and DRM is not obvious. In our work, we focus on the exploration of EV mobility to impact DRM in V2G systems in smart grid. We first present a dynamical complex network model of V2G mobile
