About the Event:
- Blockchain-based Secured and Federated Slice Broker (SFSBroker) for 5G Networks
In order to provide specialized network services for different use cases, network slicing was introduced as the key technological element in the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. It is foreseen that the trend will continue even to the beyond 5G networks to support multi-tenant multi-operator scenarios that show advanced consumer connectivity demands. In 5G network slice broker is introduced as a new business model to allow dynamic interoperability and resource trading requirements of infrastructure providers, consumers, and mobile network operators in trading the network and computational resources. The network slice broker is running as a stand-alone third party which communicates with the network slice managers of the network operators. It facilitates dynamic resource trading between network operators or resource providers and multiple tenants. In this talk, we introeduced the Secured and Federated Slice Broker (SFSBroker) which is designed to enable secure federated slicing for 5G Networks. This blockchain-based NS brokering frameworks aim to ideally cater for the scalable and shorter time-to-market deployment of NS in future networks. The smart contracts are running on top of blockchain decentralize and scale up the entire capacity of NS brokering. In this talk, we introduce the components and mechanisms of proposed SFSBroker and how it can be integrated in the 5G network architecture. We will also demonstrate implementation of proposed SFSBroker using Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform with the incorporation of Java programming language based smart contracts for encoding the underlying algorithms to ensure secured selection of network slices.
