Flyweight Network Functions for Network Slicing in IoT

Abstract:

This paper proposes an approach for the network slicing provisioning for Internet of Things (IoT) platforms based on the concept of flyweight network functions (fNF). The network slicing is a main characteristic of the 5G networks that our proposal extends to IoT platforms, in order to support the most diverse QoS requirements. The paper defines the fNF concept and presents its utilization in the context of network slices provisioning for IoT applications having QoS requirements and sharing the same IoT platform. Additionally, we present a use case and a comparison with previous works.
