Abstract

5G stringent requirements entail numerous challenges to overcome. Optimizing Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure Point of Presence (NFVI-PoP) placement in a Fog Computing/5G environment is one of these challenges. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an approach for the NFVI-PoP placement problem solution considering 5G mobile network requirements in a Fog Computing (FC) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) ecosystem.
