A softwarized resource allocation framework for security and location guaranteed services in B5G networks

Network softwarization (NetSoft) is recognized as the most promising technology of the fundamental network architecture in beyond 5G (B5G). By adopting NetSoft, physical resources of B5G can be fully virtualized, sliced and softwarized. Softwarized resources are easy to be operated and managed. One dominant technical issue in NetSoft for B5G is the softwarized resource allocation. Efficient softwarized resource allocation can bring more benefits to the service providers. However, prior researchers simply focus on maximizing the softwarized resource acceptance. Few research is conducted to guarantee the security and location demands of each softwarized service. Thus, we propose one softwarized resource allocation framework in this paper. The framework is labeled as NetSoft-Sec-Loc. The goal of NetSoft-Sec-Loc is to provide the guaranteed security and location services besides of fulfilling their softwarized resource demands. Details of NetSoft-Sec-Loc are presented. In order to highlight the merits of NetSoft-Sec-Loc framework, we do the comprehensive simulation work. We select the mostly closely framework and resource allocation strategies for comparison. Simulation results are plotted and discussed.
