  • The resources placement problem in a 5G hierarchical SDN control plane 

    Leyva Pupo, Irian; Cervelló Pastor, Cristina; Llorens Carrodeguas, Alejandro (Springer, 2019-01-09)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    In this paper, we address the SDN Controllers and Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) placement problem in 5G networks. To this aim, we propose an architecture for the 5G Control Plane and a method to determine the optimal ...
