A Utility-Driven Multi-Queue Admission Control Solution for Network Slicing
  The combination of recent emerging technologies such as network function
virtualization (NFV) and network programmability (SDN) gave birth to the
Network Slicing revolution. 5G networks consist of multi-tenant infrastructures
capable of offering leased network "slices" to new customers (e.g., vertical
industries) enabling a new telecom business model: Slice-as-aService (SlaaS).
In this paper, we aim i ) to study the slicing admission control problem by
means of a multi-queuing system for heterogeneous tenant requests, ii ) to
derive its statistical behavior model, and iii ) to provide a utility-based
admission control optimization. Our results analyze the capability of the
proposed SlaaS system to be approximately Markovian and evaluate its
performance as compared to legacy solutions.
