"With the development of 5G technology, we now see the gradual realisation of broadband,ultra-reliable, and zero latency services. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and MobileEdge Computing (MEC) are important 5G elements, and an NFV enabled MEC networkallows for movement of the Virtual Network Function (VNFs) from a distant cloud to an edgenetwork. At the same time, due to the rapid increment of network traffic demands and a focusof attention on energy consumption issues, there is a trend for much higher energyefficiency requirements. In order to satisfy such requirements we will consider thedeployment of VNFs as a network resource optimisation problem, aiming to allocate limited CPU, memory, and bandwidth while minimising the network-widew energy footprint of the ICT infrastructure."
