With a wide deployment of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) in the Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks, virtual network functions (VNF) can be flexibly migrated between difference locations, and therewith significantly enhances the…

Network virtualization is a key enabler for 5G systems to support the expected use cases of vertical markets. In this context, we study the joint optimal deployment of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and allocation of computational…

The Fifth Generation (5G) mobile core network is designed as a set of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) hosted on Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) hardware. This creates a growing demand for general-purpose compute resources as 5G deployments…

Many real-world services can be provided through multiple VNF graphs, corresponding, e.g., to high- and low-quality variants of the service itself. Based on this observation, we extend the concept of service scaling in network orchestration…

Through their computational and forwarding capabilities, 5G networks can support multiple vertical services. Such services may include several common virtual (network) functions (VNFs), which could be shared to increase resource efficiency.…

Network functions (e.g., firewalls, load balancers, etc.) have been traditionally provided through proprietary hardware appliances. Often, hardware appliances need to be hardwired back to back to form a service chain providing chained…

We consider the problem of energy-efficient network management in 5G systems, where backhaul and fronthaul nodes have both networking and computational capabilities. We devise an optimization model accounting for the main features of 5G…

Notwithstanding the significant research effort Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architectures received over the last few years little attention has been placed on optimizing proactive caching when considering it as a service chain.…
