Abstract
Network Slicing (NS) is expected to be a key functionality of the upcoming 5G systems. Coupled with Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), NS will enable a flexible deployment of Network Functions belonging to multiple Service Function Chains (SFC) over a shared infrastructure. To address the complexities that arise from this new environment, we formulate a MILP optimization model that enables a cost- optimal deployment of network slices, allowing a Mobile Network Operator to efficiently allocate the underlying layer resources according to the users' requirements. For each network slice, the proposed solution guarantees the required delay and the bandwidth, while efficiently handling the usage of underlying nodes, which leads to reduced cost. The obtained results show the efficiency of the proposed solution in terms of cost and execution time for small-scale networks, while it shows an interesting behavior in the optimization of the mapping of slices into underlay nodes of the large-scale topologies.
