Gianluca Camillo Valastro’s Expertise I have a deep passion towards the R&D. I have years of working experience in 4G/5G mobile networks. I'm actively seeking new opportunities in R&D, in academy or enterprise. In my Ph.D. thesis, a hierarchical layered software-defined architecture for future 5G networks is proposed. The architecture relies on SDN, NFV and SON principles. The research project has been conducted in the context of an international academic collaboration between the University of Glasgow and the University of Catania. I have technically coordinated the participation of our team, representing the University of Catania, to the “Mosaic5G” research project. We design and implement a flexible SDN/NFV-based SON testbed for future 5G mobile networks. We exploit, FlexRAN, as a Software Defined RAN (SD-RAN) platform enabling the SDN concept and OpenAirInterface, as an open source software-based implementation of the 3GPP full protocol stack. Research work led to two different Testbed deployments. A first Testbed in Catania (TestbedCT), based on NFV to set-up an entirely emulated environment. A subsequent Testbed in Glasgow (TestbedGLA), as a real environment deployment, using Software Defined Radios (SDRs) and real user equipments. Both the testbed deployments enable novel research and provides teaching opportunities in next generation RAN architectures and several other areas of system-level research. Furthermore, they act as benchmark for many use cases with a significant proximity to real network deployment criticalities. SD-RAN and energy saving use cases have been implemented. Network slicing and Machine Learning use cases will be implemented in the next future. I'm coordinating another research collaboration, with Bristol Is Open, a joint venture between the University of Bristol and Bristol City Council, with the aim of deploying a SDN/NFV based testbed to prove the application of this two paradigms in the context of mobile core networks. Finally, a research collaboration with the telco research team in Milan of Altran, focusing on the virtualization of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network architecture in the context of the Voice over 5G (Vo5G).
