服务链是用于在移动的通信无线电接入网络（RAN）中为用户支持移动的边缘计算（MEC）服务的关键技术之一。通过使网络功能虚拟化（NFV）技术适应MEC，可以在RAN的基站附近分配云计算功能，从而导致对用户设备的极快服务接入。这封信提供了一个集群NFV服务链（cNSC）方案，该方案计算集群的最佳数量，以最大限度地减少MEC服务的端到端时间。cNSC方案被应用于在RAN内形成NFV使能节点的多个MEC集群。
Service chaining is one of the key technologies that is used to support mobile edge computing (MEC) services for users in mobile communications radio access networks (RANs). By adapting network functions virtualization (NFV) technology to MEC, cloud-computing functionalities can be allocated near the base station of the RAN, resulting in extremely fast service access to user equipment. This letter provides a clustered NFV service chaining (cNSC) scheme that computes the optimal number of clusters to minimize the end-to-end time of MEC services. The cNSC scheme is applied to form multiple MEC clusters of NFV enabled nodes within the RAN.
