An ML-driven framework for edge orchestration in a vehicular NFV MANO environment

Book Contribution - Book Abstract Conference Contribution

To properly orchestrate challenging services such as those deployed for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) use cases, MANO systems need to be intelligent and automated. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Machine Learning (ML) provide opportunities for automating MANO operations, and this paper presents our MI-enhAnced Edge Service orchesTRatiOn (MAESTRO) algorithm that makes proactive ML-driven decisions for edge service relocation to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for V2X services. Moreover, to validate the effectiveness of our proposed solution, we have performed the experimentation using real-life testbeds for high computing and smart mobility i.e., Smart Highway and Virtual Wall, located in Antwerp and Gent, Belgium. The contribution of our paper is two-fold: i) we study the interrelation between the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measured at the vehicle client side, and the infrastructure metrics at the edge computing nodes and ii) we propose and evaluate an ML-based quality-aware algorithm that automates edge service orchestration to decrease average latency while guaranteeing high service availability and reliability.
