This book describes the concept of a Software Defined Mobile Network (SDMN),
which will impact the network architecture of current LTE (3GPP) networks. SDN
will also open up new opportunities for traffic, resource and mobility
management, as well as impose new challenges on network security. Therefore, the
book addresses the main affected areas such as traffic, resource and mobility
management, virtualized traffics transportation, network management, network
security and techno economic concepts. Moreover, a complete introduction to SDN
and SDMN concepts. Furthermore, the reader will be introduced to cutting-edge
knowledge in areas such as network virtualization, as well as SDN concepts
relevant to next generation mobile networks. Finally, by
