The next generation (5G) mobile communication systems need to address technical scenarios including seamless wide-area coverage, hot-spot high-capacity, low power massive connections, and low latency high reliability. These pose great challenges on data transmission and service to mobile communication networks. Especially, it is crucial to meet the end-to-end latency requirements for delay-sensitive applications ranging from auto-driving vehicles to industrial automatically control, etc. It is yet a big technical challenge. In this project, we plan to thoroughly investigate network function parallelization mechanisms, aiming at significantly decreasing end-to-end data transport delay in software defined network (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) based mobile networks. We plan to propose a two-tier optimization framework for network function parallelization at virtual network tier and multi-core physical tier, with aim to meet the requirements on latency and high reliability in end-to-end data transport while achieving high resource utilization. The objectives of this proposal include: providing effective solutions to the key technical problems under the proposed new framework, producing high-level novel theoretical and technical research results. The achievements of this project will provide fundamental reference and support to the standardization of 5G mobile network architecture, and to occupying the strategic high ground in the technology development and business applications of the next generation mobile networks.
