Multi-Provider NFV Network Service Delegation via Average Reward Reinforcement Learning
Bahador Bakhshi, Josep Mangues-Bafalluy, Jorge Baranda
In multi-provider 5G/6G networks, service delegation enables administrative domains to federate in provisioning NFV network services. Admission control is fundamental in selecting…
Near Optimal VNF Placement in Edge-Enabled 6G Networks
Carlos Ruiz De Mendoza, Bahador Bakhshi, Engin Zeydan +1
Softwarization and virtualization are key concepts for emerging industries that require ultra-low latency. This is only possible if computing resources, traditionally centralized a…
Model-Based Reinforcement Learning Framework of Online Network Resource Allocation
Bahador Bakhshi, Josep Mangues-Bafalluy
Online Network Resource Allocation (ONRA) for service provisioning is a fundamental problem in communication networks. As a sequential decision-making under uncertainty problem, it…
R-Learning Based Admission Control for Service Federation in Multi-domain 5G Networks
Bahador Bakhshi, Josep Mangues-Bafalluy, Jorge Baranda
Service federation in 5G/B5G networks enables service providers to orchestrate network services across multiple domains where admission control is a key issue. For each demand, wit…
