Network Slicing and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) are vital enablers for achieving
5G and 6G networks. A 5G/6G network can comprise various network slices from unique or …

Network slicing (NwS) is one of the main technologies in the fifth-generation of mobile
communication and beyond (5G+). One of the important challenges in the NwS is …

Network virtualization is a key enabler for 5G systems to support the expected use cases of
vertical markets. In this context, we study the joint optimal deployment of Virtual Network …

Slices were introduced in 5G to enable the co-existence of applications with different
requirements on a single infrastructure. Slices may be delay-constrained for mission-critical …

Network function virtualization is a promising technology to simultaneously support multiple
services with diverse characteristics and requirements in the 5G and beyond networks. In …

This paper investigates the slice-based service function chain embedding (SBSFCE)
problem, which is to embed the service function chains (SFCs) of flows from different slices …

One of the most important aspects of moving forward to the next generation networks like
5G/6G, is to enable network slicing in an efficient manner. The most challenging issues are …

To address the evolving landscape of next-generation mobile networks, characterized by an
increasing number of connected users, surging traffic demands, and the continuous …

In this paper, we consider the network slicing problem which attempts to map multiple
customized virtual network requests (also called services) to a common shared network …

With the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems, in-vehicle edge computing
networks serve as key infrastructures to provide strong support for vehicle communication …
