Dynamic VNF placement, resource allocation and traffic routing in 5G

5G networks are going to support a variety of vertical services, with diverse set key performance indicators (KPIs), by using enabling technologies such as software-defined networking and network function virtualization. It is the responsibility operator efficiently allocate available resources service requests in way honor KPI requirements, while accounting for limited quantity their cost. A critical challenge that may be highly varying over time, requiring solution accounts dynamic generation termination. With this motivation, we seek make joint decisions request admission, resource activation, VNF placement, allocation, traffic routing. We do so considering real-world aspects setup times virtual machines, goal maximizing mobile profit. To end, first, formulate one-shot optimization problem which can attain optimum small size problems given complete knowledge arrival departure entire system lifespan. then propose an efficient practical heuristic only requires next time period works realistically-sized scenarios. Finally, evaluate these solutions services large-scale topologies. Results demonstrate our performs better than state-of-the-art online approach close optimum.
