Producción CientíficaA genetic algorithm is proposed to map virtual network functions in computing resources over 5G networks with an optical backhauling system. The algorithm outperforms other proposals in terms of blocking ratio and active CPU cores utilization.Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (Projects TEC2014- 53071-C3 -2-P, TEC2017-84423- C3 -1-P, TEC2015-71932- REDT)Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (Proyects BES -2015-074514 and FPU14/04227

Demonstration of latency-aware 5G network slicing on optical metro networks

The H2020 METRO-HAUL European project has architected a latency-aware, cost-effective, agile, and programmable optical metro network. This includes the design of semi-disaggregated metro nodes with compute and storage capabilities, which interface effectively with both 5G access and multi-Tbit/s elastic optical networks in the core. In this paper, we report the automated deployment of 5G services, in particular, a public safety video surveillance use case employing low-latency object detection and tracking using on-camera and on-the-edge analytics. The demonstration features flexible deployment of network slice instances, implemented in terms of ETSI NFV Network Services. We summarize the key findings in a detailed analysis of end-to-end quality of service, service setup time, and soft-failure detection time. The results show that the round-trip-time over an 80 km link is under 800 µs and the service deployment time under 180 seconds.Horizon 2020 Framework Programme (761727); Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (16KIS0979K).Peer ReviewedArticle signat per 25 autors/es: B.

A latency-aware real-time video surveillance demo: network slicing for improving public safety

We report the automated deployment of 5G services across a latency-aware, semi- disaggregated, and virtualized metro network. We summarize the key findings in a detailed analysis of end-to-end latency, service setup time, and soft-failure detection time.The research leading to these results has received funding from the EC and BMBF through the METRO-HAUL project (G.A. No. 761727) and OTB-5G+ project (reference No. 16KIS0979K).Peer ReviewedArticle signat per 24 autors/es: B. Shariati, Fraunhofer HHI, Germany / J. J. Pedreno-Manresa, ADVA, Germany / A.
