Wireless industry nowadays is facing two major challenges: 1) how to support the vertical industry applications so that to expand the wireless industry market and 2) how to further enhance device capability and user experience. In this paper, we propose a technology framework to address these challenges. The proposed technology framework is based on end-to-end vertical and horizontal slicing, w...

With the development of smart mobile devices and various mobile applications, content-oriented service has become the most popular service which occupies network resources and results in high traffic load. In order to improve quality of experience in radio access network and reduce the OpEx and CapEx of operators, wireless network virtualization and network slicing come into the vision and are ...

Network slicing allows mobile network operators to open their physical network infrastructure platform to the concurrent deployment of multiple logical self-contained networks, i.e., network slices. In this paper we propose and analyze ONETS: an Online NETwork Slicing solution that (i) builds on the budgeted lock-up multi-armed bandit mathematical model and properties, (ii) derives its analytic...

When a network slice is requested, multiple technology and/or administrative domains are invoked to ensure that the end-to-end service level agreement (SLA) met. Therefore, this SLA requirement needs be decomposed in portions each of can support. In letter we consider management architecture consisting an orchestrator responsible for decomposing SLA, and domain controllers govern their respecti...

The research and development (R&D) and the standardization of the 5th Generation (5G) mobile networking technologies are proceeding at a rapid pace all around the world. In this paper, we introduce the emerging concept of network slicing that is considered one of the most significant technology challenges for 5G mobile networking infrastructure, summarize our preliminary research efforts to ena...

Program Slicing is the process of deleting statements in a program that do not affect a given set of variables at a chosen point in the program. In this paper the first parallel slicing algorithm for static program slicing is introduced. It is shown how the control flow graph of the program to be sliced is converted into a network of concurrent processes, thereby producing a parallel version of...
