The Tactile Internet (TI) is one of the next generation wireless network services with end to end (E2E) delay as low as 1 ms. Since this ultra low E2E delay cannot be met in the current 4G network architecture, it is necessary to investigate this service in the next generation wireless network by considering new technologies such as network function virtualization (NFV). On the other hand, given the importance of E2E delay in the TI service, it is crucial to consider the delay of all parts of the network, including the radio access part and the NFV core part. In this paper, for the first time, we investigate the joint radio resource allocation (R-RA) and NFV resource allocation (NFV-RA) in a heterogeneous network where queuing delays, transmission delays, and delays resulting from virtual network function (VNF) execution are jointly considered. For this setup, we formulate a new resource allocation (RA) problem to minimize the total cost function subject to guaranteeing E2E delay of each user. Since the proposed optimization problem is highly non-convex, we exploit alternative search method (ASM), successive convex approximation (SCA), and heuristic algorithms to solve it. Simulation results reveal that in the proposed scheme can significantly reduce the network costs compared to the case where the two problems are optimized separately.
