Driven by the vision of cloud and edge computing as the 5th utility, a major challenge is the
efficient resource management and pricing taking into account incentives and preferences of …

While 5G is being deployed all around the world, the industry and academia start the
investigation of 6G. Network function virtualization (NFV) is seen as the key enabler towards …

Network function virtualization (NFV) requires service function chain (SFC) provisioning on
cloud or fog servers. Now fog nodes offers short provisioning times as compared to the …

Next-generation networks are expected to address scenarios demanding varying QoS, such
as higher bandwidth, lower latency, and reliable data delivery. A multitude of B5G …

The emergence of a new generation of applications such as the Internet of Things, Artificial
Intelligence, and 5G has brought fog computing as cloud development toward the edge …

This letter presents a novel provisioning scheme for service function chain (SFC) requests
for delay-sensitive applications. The SFC is comprised of virtual network functions (VNF) to …

Fog paradigms minimize response times for delay-sensitive applications by bringing
computation and storage closer to the edge of the network, thus reducing the need for data …

Fog computing computes and stores data locally based upon distributed architectures that
extend cloud to the edge of the network. This enables fog paradigms to be suitable for delay …

Fog computing allows for local data processing at the edge of the network. This allows for
reduced link delays between mobile users and access points. Here, fog nodes are …

Network slicing is a core technique of the 5G system and beyond. To meet the varied
industrial demands, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has classified the …
