ECE Associate Research Professor Salvatore D’Oro, William Lincoln Smith Professor Tommaso Melodia, Assistant Professor Francesco Restuccia, and Associate Research Scientist Leonardo Bonati were awarded a patent for “Methods for multi-access edge computing network slicing in 5G networks.”
Abstract Source: USPTO
Methods and systems are provided for allocating resources to users in a wireless network including a plurality of edge nodes that provide wireless network access and multi-access edge computing functions. Slice requests are received from the users for a type of resource, including one or more of networking resources, storage resources, and computation resources. A set of slice requests to be admitted is determined based on resource availability constraints among one or more of the networking resources, the storage resources, and the computation resources at each edge node.
