Preface
In view of cost-effective implementations, scalable infrastructure and elastic capacity on demand, virtualization and cloud computing are now becoming the cornerstones of any successful IT strategy. Emerging cloud computing technologies, such as the software-defined networking and Internet of things, have been thoroughly investigated for data computing networks, while less attention has been paid to radio access network virtualization, be it hardware or software elements. Today, the focus of research in wireless and cellular networks has shifted to virtualization and cloud technologies, so that incorporation of cloud technologies, network functions virtualization, and software-defined networking is essential part in the development process of 5G cellular communications system, expected to be commercialized by 2020. These technologies are expected to affect different parts of cellular networks including the core network and radio access ne
