User-Centric Networking

This paper goes over the concept of User-centric networking, as a paradigm for networking architectures usually located in the Customer Premises, and which is steadily changing the way the Internet has been devised. Such change is due to the fact that the Internet end-user is empowered due to novel approaches such as software defined networking, thus being in control of functionality that so far was restricted to be placed in the core and access regions of networks. Such change introduces the need to revisit home networking, and from an end-to-end perspective, to introduce new concepts and technology into the networking functionality. The paper presents a user-centric model and its functional blocks, and describes the architectural example that has been conceived, implemented, and validated in the context of the European project ULOOP—User-centric Wireless Local Loop.
