VNFs reconfiguration in 5G networks
We consider a problem of allocating Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in 5G networks, treating it as a multiple multidimensional knapsacks reconfiguration problem where items represent VNFs and knapsacks represent servers on which VNFs are able to run.

B-VNF: Blockchain-enhanced Architecture for VNF Orchestration in MEC-5G Networks [PDF]
The roll-out of 5G technology will nurture the realization of broadband, ultra-reliable, and zero latency services. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) are among the key enablers for 5G. The synergy between NFV and MEC allows migration of Virtual Network Functions (VNF) from cloud to the edge of the network ...
