Virtual network function reconfiguration in 5G networks: An optimization perspective

Résumé

Abstract One of the major challenges in managing 5G networks is the reconfiguration of network slices. The task covers in particular reconfiguration and relocation of virtual network functions (VNFs) so as to match the service requirements of the slices and the availability of resources of the data centers. In this article, we study in deep the problem of optimal VNFs reconfiguration analyzing a number of its variants. We define two exact, compact integer linear programming formulations of the VNFs reconfiguration problem, and derive two approximate solution algorithms, one of them based on the column generation method. Numerical tests and comparisons illustrate the performance of the algorithms and the quality of the provided solutions.
