Rational Impatience Strategy of 5G Network Tenants in Queue-Based Slice Admission Control: Shall I Wait Further for My Network Slice?
share
The fifth generation (5G) technologies enable an emerge type of public cloud environment: Slice as a Service (SlaaS). Under the constraints of Quality of Service (QoS) and resource feasibility, mobile network operators (MNOs) may have to delay the admission to some slices requested by network tenants. When the service demand is dense, congestions of slice requests can occur, leading to long waiting time. Tenants can therefore behave impatiently to mitigate potential loss caused by congestions. This paper studies the rational strategies of impatient tenants waiting in queue-based slice admission control system, and discusses the benefits of allowing MNO to share its information with the tenants.
