Abstract: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 resources in a hybrid cloud infrastructure by taking the requirements of the 5G services and the characteristics of the cloud architecture into consideration. The resulting mixedinteger problem is reformulated as an integer linear problem, which can be solved by using a standard so… Show more
