In this paper, we address the virtual network embedding (VNE) problem in non-terrestrial
networks (NTNs) enabling dynamic changes in the virtual network function (VNF) …

Network virtualization is a significant technology for the future network development. Many
research results of it have already been proposed. However, almost all of these research is …

This paper addresses the virtual network embedding (VNE) problem in integrated satellite-
terrestrial networks (STNs). VNE consists of mapping virtual network functions (VNFs) in a …

Regional satellite networks are capable of supporting denser coverage and more reliable
communications in the target area and hence have been viewed as an essential part of the …

Non-Geostationary Orbit satellite (NGSO) is an essential element in 5G Non-Terrestrial
Networks (NTNs), which can operate either independently or as complementary parts to …

Virtual network embedding (VNE) refers to the resource allocation problem for network
virtualization. Since its inception, multiple mapping algorithms have been proposed for …

In network virtualization, one of its core challenges lies in how to map the virtual networks
(VNs) to the shared substrate network (SN) that is managed by an infrastructure provider …

For beyond 5G and 6G communications, the satellite terrestrial integrated network (STIN) is
expected to provide diverse services with seamless coverage. The first step for …

Network virtualization (NV) is pushed forward by its proponents as a crucial attribute of next
generation network, aiming at overcoming the gradual ossification of current networks …
