D-ViNE: Dynamic Virtual Network Embedding in Non-Terrestrial Networks

[en] In this paper, we address the virtual network embedding (VNE) problem in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) enabling dynamic changes in the virtual network function (VNF) deployment to maximize the service acceptance rate and service revenue. NTNs such as satellite networks involve highly dynamic topology and limited resources in terms of rate and power. VNE in NTNs is a challenge because a static strategy under-performs when new service requests arrive or the network topology changes unexpectedly due to failures or other events. Existing solutions do not consider the power constraint of satellites and rate limitation of inter-satellite links (ISLs) which are essential parameters for dynamic adjustment of existing VNE strategy in NTNs. In this work, we propose a dynamic VNE algorithm that selects a suitable VNE strategy for new and existing services considering the time-varying network topology. The proposed scheme, D-ViNE, increases the service acceptance ratio by 8.51% compared to the benchmark scheme TS-MAPSCH.
