5G network slicing function migration mechanism based on particle swarm optimization algorithm by Qiang CHEN, Caixia LIU, Lingshu LI

“…In multi-application scenarios of 5G,data traffic often increases dramatically.Virtual machine resources in network slicing may not meet the normal needs of users.In view of this,a network slicing function migration mechanism aiming at load balancing was proposed.The mechanism simulates the virtual machine into particles based on particle swarm optimization algorithm.In the process of migration,all particles were divided into several subgroups,and particle swarm optimization algorithm was applied within and among groups.According to the historical optimal solution and the current global optimal solution,the particle location was updated,and the best target particles were determined by selecting the smaller particle size of the particle in real time.The mechanism not only improves the convergence speed,but also improves the accuracy of the algorithm.Compared with other migration methods,the results show that the proposed migration mechanism has the advantages of high accuracy and fast convergence.And it can also improve the efficiency of resource utilization,reduce the energy consumption of data center,and has better adaptability.…”

Parallel orchestration and deployment system for scalable heterogeneous service function chain supporting polymorphic network by Hao CHEN, Yuan YANG, Mingwei XU, Dan PEI, Yilin YOU

“…Aiming at the problem of second-level service function chain orchestration and deployment in the polymorphic data center with the scale of 10 000 servers, a scalable heterogeneous SFC parallel orchestration and deployment (SHOD) system was proposed.The scale-out orchestration time of service chain was reduced to seconds by partitioning the data center and adopting a parallel orchestrator design that minimizes resource usage.Using a mediator design model that satisfies the single-responsibility principle, the heterogeneous equipment scalable orchestration and deployment were realized as well as service function chain building chain.Experimental results show that in a data center with 10 000 servers, the scale-out orchestration time of SHOD system is reduced to <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mrow> <mn>12</mn></mrow> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> of the existing system-Daisy, while only 1.5 times CPU utilization overhead is introduced.…”
