Description

The growing number of on-line applications and services running on wireless and mobile devices has been limited by the
rigidity of actual IT infrastructure, in which the closed union between data and control planes limits the possibility of customize the
network behavior. In this context, the concepts of SDN and NFV appear as a viable solution to open the infrastructure to developers in
order to create new services and applications. In this work, we describe the concepts of SDN, NFV and analyze the possibility of
integrate these technologies in mobile networks. Furthermore, we present the last projects and an architecture proposal focused on this
direction. Finally, we discuss the trends and challenges in order to implement these advances in production networks.
