Revealing the Impact of Dynamic Traffic on NFV Networks Planned Under Static Assumptions

Producción Científica5G/6G networks offer high-capacity, low-latency and high-speed communications to new services associated with vertical industries like smart cities, automotive and energy sectors. To achieve this objective, new networking and computing paradigms such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) are required to bring flexibility and adaptability to networks, while optical networks are envisioned to build the backhaul of 5G/6G networks thanks to their high capacity. Current studies on NFV-5G network planning with MEC resources follow either the online trend or the offline trend. In the online trend, resource allocation to service connection requests is determined upon request arrival based on the available resources. Conversely, in the offline trend, network planning is conducted assuming that the expected traffic (or the full set of service requests) is known in advance. However, to the best of our knowledge, previous works have not assessed the performance of these static offline network plannings when operating under dynamic traffic. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a previously proposed static planning algorithm for NFV-5G networks under dynamic traffic conditions and analyze the impact of dynamic traffic on the request blocking ratio. Moreover, we also examine the performance of the static planning for each individual service type in a dynamic network scenario with three different available services. The simulation results show that overdimensioning is necessary when planning NFV-5G networks statically, and that the overdimensioning should consider different criteria based on the network expected performance objectives.Consejería de Educación de la Junta de Castilla y León y FEDER (Ref.

Next Generation Flexible and Cognitive Heterogeneous Optical Networks:Supporting the Evolution to the Future Internet

Optical networking is the cornerstone of the Future Internet as it provides the physical infrastructure of the core backbone networks. Recent developments have enabled much better quality of service/experience for the end users, enabled through the much higher capacities that can be supported. Furthermore, optical networking developments facilitate the reduction of complexity of operations at the IP layer and therefore reduce the latency of the connections and the expenditures to deploy and operate the networks. New research directions in optical networking promise to further advance the capabilities of the Future Internet. In this book chapter, we highlight the latest activities of the optical networking community and in particular what has been the focus of EU funded research. The concepts of flexible and cognitive optical networks are introduced and their key expected benefits are highlighted. The overall framework envisioned for the future cognitive flexible optical networks are introduced and recent developments are presented

Deep Reinforcement Learning Applied to Computation Offloading of Vehicular Applications:A Comparison

Producción CientíficaAn observable trend in recent years is the increasing demand for more complex services designed to be used with portable or automotive embedded devices. The problem is that these devices may lack the computational resources necessary to comply with service requirements. To solve it, cloud and edge computing, and in particular, the recent multi-access edge computing (MEC) paradigm, have been proposed. By offloading the processing of computational tasks from devices or vehicles to an external network, a larger amount of computational resources, placed in different locations, becomes accessible. However, this in turn creates the issue of deciding where each task should be executed. In this paper, we model the problem of computation offloading of vehicular applications to solve it using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and evaluate the performance of different DRL algorithms and heuristics, showing the advantages of the former methods. Moreover, the impact of two scheduling techniques in computing nodes and two reward strategies in the DRL methods are also analyzed and discussed.Consejería de Educación de la Junta de Castilla y León y FEDER (VA231P20)Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación y Agencia Estatal de Investigación (Proyecto PID2020-112675RB-C42 financiado por MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 y RED2018-102585-T); EU H2020 GA no. 856967
