Postdoc researcher
Juan Alberto Cabrera obtained his PhD (summa cum laude) on June 16th, 2022. He is currently working at the “Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks” at TU Dresden. He leads the Chair’s research group on semantic and goal-oriented communications. He is also in charge of teaching the course “Practical Implementations of Network Coding.”
Juan Cabrera’s research interests are semantic and goal-oriented communications, functional compression, message identification, common randomness generation, network coding, and in-network distributed storage and computing.
He was born in Caracas, Venezuela and studied at Simon Bolivar University, where he received his bachelor’s degree with honours (cum laude) in electronics engineering in 2013. He studied for one year in Prague, Czech Republic, during the bachelor’s program at the Czech Technical University in Prague (2011 – 2012). After finishing his bachelor’s, he moved to Denmark, receiving his master’s degree (2015) in wireless communications systems at Aalborg University.

To overcome those disruptive changes, future communication systems are substituting specialized hardware with generic hardware boxes and the softwarization paradigm. Furthermore, this approach allows for quick deployment of new services, which was known to cloud service already. In this paper, we will introduce the most prominent candidates for softwarization such as software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) and explain the importance of those technologies for the upcoming 5G communication system and tactile internet applications realizing novel mobile edge computing, storage, and networking solutions. Specifically, we will discuss use cases of SDN/NFV such as network coding as a service, and ultra-reliable distributed edge caching. Finally, we will describe our holistic testbed at 5G Lab Germany as a fundamental step towards creating an experiment infrastructure that anticipates the 5G communication systems and tactile internet applications.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} }
