Sharing Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) among different slices in Fifth Generation (5G) is a potential strategy to simplify the system implementation and utilize 5G resources efficiently. In this paper, we propose a security-aware VNF…

In order to better accommodate the dramatically increasing demand for data caching and computing services, storage and computation capabilities should be endowed to some of the intermediate nodes within the network. In this paper, we design…

Softwarization and virtualization are key concepts for emerging industries that require ultra-low latency. This is only possible if computing resources, traditionally centralized at the core of communication networks, are moved closer to…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have become an essential component in many application domains including web-based services. A variety of these services require high throughput and (close to) real-time features, for instance, to respond or…

The emerging paradigm of network function virtualization advocates deploying virtualized network functions (VNF) on standard virtualization platforms for significant cost reduction and management flexibility. There have been system designs…

For state-of-the-art network function virtualization (NFV) systems, it remains a key challenge to conduct effective service chain composition for different network services (NSs) with ultra-low request latencies and minimum network…

To conduct a more realistic evaluation on Virtualized Network Functions resource allocation algorithms, researches needed data on: (1) potential NFs chains (policies), (2) traffic flows passing through these NFs chains, (3) how the dynamic…

The concept of edge caching provision in emerging 5G and beyond mobile networks is a promising method to deal both with the traffic congestion problem in the core network as well as reducing latency to access popular content. In that…

Thanks to its computational and forwarding capabilities, the mobile network infrastructure can support several third-party ("vertical") services, each composed of a graph of virtual (network) functions (VNFs). Importantly, one or more VNFs…

We study the problem of optimal content placement over a network of caches, a problem naturally arising in several networking applications, including ICNs, CDNs, and P2P systems. Given a demand of content request rates and paths followed,…

In Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) networks, users covered by a mobile network can exploit edge clouds (ECs), computational resources located at the network's edge, to execute virtual network functions (VNFs). ECs are particularly useful…

Storage resources and caching techniques permeate almost every area of communication networks today. In the near future, caching is set to play an important role in storage-assisted Internet architectures, information-centric networks, and…

Today's Cloud applications are dominated by composite applications comprising multiple computing and data components with strong communication correlations among them. Although Cloud providers are deploying large number of computing and…

Recent popularity of mobile devices increased the demand for mobile network services and applications that require minimal delay. 5G mobile networks are expected to provide much lesser delay than the present mobile networks. One of the…

Edge caching is being explored as a promising technology to alleviate the network burden of cellular networks by separating the computing functionalities away from cellular base stations. However, the service capability of existing caching…

With the growing demand for data connectivity, network service providers are faced with the task of reducing their capital and operational expenses while simultaneously improving network performance and addressing the increased demand.…

Network function virtualization (NFV) is an emerging design paradigm that replaces physical middlebox devices with software modules running on general purpose commodity servers. While gradually transitioning to NFV, Internet service…

This work proposes a new algorithm to mitigate model generalization loss in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) operating under client reliability constraints within 5G Core Networks (CNs). Recently studied and endorsed by 3GPP, VFL enables…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is considered one of the key technologies for the 5G mobile networks. In NFV, network functions are implemented in software components denominated Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) running on commodity…

Applications are sets of interacting components that can be executed in sequence, in parallel, or by using more complex constructs such as selections and loops. They can, therefore, be modeled as structured graphs with sub-structures…
