Towards 6G Networks: Ensemble Deep Learning Empowered VNF Deployment for IoT Services
Mahzabeen Emu, Salimur Choudhury · 2021
The prospective Internet of Things (IoT) vertical use cases demand latency perception, privacy preservation, and scalability intelligence equipped Virtual Network Function (VNF) orchestration in a dynamic context. With the massive growth of IoT connectivity, smart VNF orchestration with real-time deployment abilities is vital for the ubiquitous digital network environment. Hence, this paper collaboratively considers all the future service orchestration specifications. Moreover, we urge the necessity to go beyond the traditional service deployment framework and introduce VNF allocation at edge cloudlet small scale data-centers. Extensive simulation results manifest the applicability and potential of our proposed deep learning models with the twist of ensemble techniques for automated VNF orchestration. Additionally, our proposed ensemble deep learning aided approach inspires the employment of intelligent orchestrator to address 6G network era challenges for perpetual telecommunication research enigmas.
