Description
Summary:The paper proposes a new blockchain-based network architecture for 5G network functions virtualization. By using a combination of AI and blockchain technologies, proposed system provides flexible network deployment, interoperability between different mobile network operators and effective management of radio resources. Experimental testbed of the proposed system has been implemented by using cloud and edge computing infrastructure and software defined radio peripheral NI USRP 2900. Simulation results of the network slicing and radio resource management shows that proposed system is able to double the capacity of the physical network infrastructure, while ensuring the target quality of service for all users.
