NetOr: An Inter-domain Vertical Service Orchestrator for 5G Networks
João Alegria, Rafael Direito, Daniel Gomes, Daniel Nunes Corujo, Diogo Gomes · 2022
Current 5G vertical service orchestration solutions suffer from several limitations, mainly: (i) lack of standardization, (ii) monolithic architectures, and (iii) low support for inter-domain scenarios, for instance. This paper proposes the development of a new 5G vertical service orchestration platform that solves these problems and supports intricate use cases. This new system, named NetOr, will inherit many of the abstractions and functionalities already employed while tackling the mentioned issues while providing increased maintainability, flexibility, and scalability, since a Service-Oriented Architecture was followed.
