Software-defined mobile network, the Glossary
Software-defined mobile networking (SDMN) is an approach to the design of mobile networks where all protocol-specific features are implemented in software, maximizing the use of generic and commodity hardware and software in both the core network and radio access network (RAN).[1]

Backbone network
A backbone or core network is a part of a computer network which interconnects networks, providing a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks.
See Software-defined mobile network and Backbone network
Central processing unit
A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer.
See Software-defined mobile network and Central processing unit
Digital signal processor
A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor chip, with its architecture optimized for the operational needs of digital signal processing.
See Software-defined mobile network and Digital signal processor
Field-programmable gate array
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a type of configurable integrated circuit that can be repeatedly programmed after manufacturing.
See Software-defined mobile network and Field-programmable gate array
Radio access network
A radio access network (RAN) is part of a mobile telecommunication system implementing a radio access technology (RAT).
See Software-defined mobile network and Radio access network
Softswitch
A softswitch (software switch) is a call-switching node in a telecommunications network, based not on the specialized switching hardware of the traditional telephone exchange, but implemented in software running on a general-purpose computing platform.
See Software-defined mobile network and Softswitch
Software-defined radio
Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that conventionally have been implemented in analog hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a computer or embedded system.
See Software-defined mobile network and Software-defined radio
University of Oulu
The University of Oulu (Oulun yliopisto) is one of the largest universities in Finland, located in the city of Oulu.
See Software-defined mobile network and University of Oulu
Vendor lock-in
In economics, vendor lock-in, also known as proprietary lock-in or customer lock-in, makes a customer dependent on a vendor for products, unable to use another vendor without substantial switching costs.
See Software-defined mobile network and Vendor lock-in
Wireless distribution system
A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network.
