An Optimization-enhanced MANO for Energy-efficient 5G Networks
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Claudio Casetti +2
5G network nodes, fronthaul and backhaul alike, will have both forwarding and computational capabilities. This makes energy-efficient network management more challenging, as decisi…
Service Shifting: a Paradigm for Service Resilience in 5G
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Giada Landi
Many real-world services can be provided through multiple virtual network function (VNF) graphs, corresponding, e.g., to high- and low-complexity variants of the service itself. Ba…
Towards Failure Resiliency in 5G: Service Shifting
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Giada Landi
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 ex…
Arbitration Among Vertical Services
Claudio Casetti, Carla Fabiana Chiasserini, Nuria Molner +6
A 5G network provides several service types, tailored to specific needs such as high bandwidth or low latency. On top of these communication services, verticals are enabled to depl…
Optimization-in-the-Loop for Energy-Efficient 5G
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Claudio E. Casetti +1
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 o…
