Abstract

Enabled by the network slicing technology, multiple and independent virtual networks can now be instantiated and customized to meet heterogeneous service requirements over 5G network deployments. The widely different requirements of 5G emerging use-cases such as Internet of things (IoT), augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), vehicle-to-everything (V2X)communication, exacerbate the need for orchestration solutions able to concurrently accommodate these services in a resource and cost-efficient manner. Nowadays, centralized orchestration solutions are available. Such solutions require a holistic view over multiple networking domains, thus suffering severe scalability limitations that hardly fits with latency and efficiency requirements of 5G deployments.
