Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) for 5G Core Networks

EasyChair Preprint 14096

Abstract

This research delves into the application of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to develop flexible, agile, and efficient 5G core networks. SDN and NFV represent paradigm shifts in network architecture, enabling dynamic network management and resource allocation through software control and virtualization of network functions. The study addresses the key challenges associated with implementing SDN and NFV in 5G environments, including network slicing, orchestration, and automation. By leveraging SDN and NFV, the research aims to enhance network scalability, reduce operational costs, and improve service delivery. Additionally, it explores the integration of these technologies to achieve seamless interoperability, robust security, and efficient resource utilization, ultimately contributing to the realization of high-performance 5G core networks.

Keyphrases: 5G core networks, Automation, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Network Management, Network Slicing, Orchestration, Software Defined Networking (SDN), resource allocation, service delivery
