Abstract

The mobile edge cloud has developed as the main platform to offer low latency network services from the edge of networks for stringent delay necessities of mobile applications. In mobile edge cloud networks, network functions virtualization (NFV) creates the frameworks for building up a new dynamic resource management framework structure to effectively utilize network resources. Delay tolerance NFV-enabled multicast request admissions in a mobile edge-cloud network are explored in this paper to limit request admission delays or maximizing system performance for a group of requests arriving individually. At first, for the cost reduction issue of a single NFV-empowered multicast request admission, the admission cost of each multicast request is assessed, and the Support based graph is constructed. Here, the multicast requests are prioritized dependent on their admission cost. Subsequently, trust and the delay-based local gradient are assessed for the prioritized multicast requests. At long last, delay tolerance NFV multicasting is accomplished by successful (First Come First Serve) FCFS queuing reliant on the assessed local gradient of requests. When compared to existing approaches, the exploratory results show that the proposed methodology is superior in terms of throughput, admission cost, and running time.
