Intelligent Placement of 5G Network Functions on Edge-Based Infrastructures

Jul 2026 · Journal of Network and Systems Management · Vol 34 · 0 citations · 46 references

TL;DR

A constrained optimization model that supports different management goals through alternative objective functions (latency-aware or power-aware) while enforcing operational constraints, including node capacities, slice-specific latency bounds, and explicit limits on VNF migrations/relocations between scheduling periods is proposed.
