Variable granularity service function chain mapping algorithm based on microservice architecture by Xiaochun WU, Chen HONG, Yue ZHANG, Junnan ZHANG, Jingjing ZHOU

“…For the problem that the end-to-end delay of the service function chain (SFC) cannot meet the demand of delay-sensitive applications in 5G environment, a variable granularity service function chain mapping (VG-SFCM) algorithm based on microservice architecture was proposed by splitting the traditional virtualized network function (VNF) into mapping units of varying granularity.Firstly, the traditional coarse-grained VNF was decoupled into fine-grained microservice units, and then the instantiation of microservice units was reduced through the consolidation of redundant microservice units within SFC and the reuse of microservice units between SFC, thus reducing the processing time of SFC.The simulation results show that the algorithm reduces the end-to-end delay of SFC by 14.81% compared to the traditional mapping algorithm while reducing the average deployment network cost.…”

EM-based blind LDPC identification in multipath channels by Yu LIU, Fanggang WANG, Jingwen ZHANG, Bo AI, Zhangdui ZHONG

“…As the advent of cognitive radios,blind encoder identification has attracted increasingly attentions since it plays an important role.The existing works mainly focus on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel,while the blind identification in multipath scenarios has not been sufficiently investigated.Considering the blind low density parity-check (LDPC) codes identification in the presence of unknown multipath fading channel,a likelihood-based classifier was proposed using the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters.Then,an average log-likelihood ratio (LLR) estimator was adopted to classify the unknown encoder.Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm provides promising identification performance in multipath channels,especially in the low signal-to-noise ratio region.…”
