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.

Softwarization and Network Coding in the Mobile Edge Cloud for the Tactile Internet Journal Article

abstract = {Future communication systems, such as those enabling the tactile internet, will face disruptive changes compared to the state of art systems, which are i.) highly dynamic topology changes, ii.) replacement of the end to end paradigm with real mesh topologies, and iii.) a massive number of devices. 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.},

abstract = {The 5G communication system will provide flexible and programmable networks by leveraging softwarization technologies such as NFV and SDN. That advanced feature of 5G networks will be demonstrated in the context of real-time video surveillance for public safety. Specifically, we demonstrate for the first time a practical deployment of Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) with NFV and SDN technologies to improve video quality against packet loss due to congestion at the core network and signal impairment of lossy channels at network edges. The demonstration implements NFV and SDN applications on COTS devices to prove its flexibility and portability.},
