Abstract Network Function Virtualization (NFV) provides a good paradigm for sharing the
resources of the physical network. The deployment problem of Service Function Chains …

Most studies on network function virtualization are based on cloud computing environments.
Fog computing has been proposed as a supplement to cloud computing. When deploying …

Internet of Things (IoT) has been ever-growing over the last few years. The IoT devices
generate a massive amount of data that should be transmitted to the cloud for computing …

Fog computing extends the cloud to the edge of the network, close to the end-users enabling
the deployment of some application component in the fog while others in the cloud. Network …

Network function virtualization (NFV) has gained prominence in next-generation cloud
computing, such as the fog-based radio access network, due to their ability to support better …

By decoupling network functions from the underlying hardware, Network Function
Virtualization (NFV) allows application components to be implemented as sets of Virtual …

Network function virtualization (NFV) uses commodity servers to run “softwarized”
networking device functions and replace costly, proprietary hardware systems. This …

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) supports ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth services as
an emerging network architecture by deploying servers at the edge of the network to provide …

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 …

As two of the key technologies of 5G, fog-based radio access network and network function
virtualization have become an important direction for the radio network architecture …
