Method for customized, situation-aware orchestration of decentralized network resources

摘要

A method for performing network function virtualization (NFV) management and orchestration (MANO) operations in a telecommunications network includes collecting, by a mobile network node, mobile network node condition data that specifies network conditions present at the mobile network node, providing, to a distributed NFV-MANO system component located at the mobile network node, the mobile network node condition data, and executing, by the distributed NFV-MANO system component, MANO decision logic. The MANO decision logic provides, based on input that includes at least the mobile network node condition data, at least one MANO operation decision as output. The telecommunications network includes stationary infrastructure components and mobile infrastructure components that communicate with stationary infrastructure components via wireless links, and the mobile network node is one of the mobile infrastructure components of the telecommunications network.
