Abstract

Abstract

In order to solve the problem that slice migration lags behind by lacking awareness of physical network resources in 5G Network Slice (NS) scenarios, a Dynamic Slice Adjustment and Migration (DSAM) algorithm based on ensemble deep neural network traffic prediction is proposed. Firstly, a network total penalty model based on computing, memory and bandwidth resource allocation is established. Secondly, in order to predict the future traffic situation, a prediction algorithm based on ensemble deep neural network is proposed. Then the result of prediction are converted to perception of the physical network resource usage and resource requirements of slice in future according to the different types of traffic. Finally, in order to as large as possible to reduce operators punishment according to the result of perception, Virtual Network Functions (VNF) and virtual links are migrated to physical nodes and links that meet resource limits through dynamic slice adjustment and migration policies. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves effectively the efficiency of slice migration and utilization of network resources.
