Abstract
Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Network Slicing technologies present promising solutions to enhance vehicular networks. Using these technologies, a dedicated slice will be deployed whenever a new service is requested. However, in this context, mobility management should be considered in order to support seamless roaming among different network slices. The roaming of users requires inter-slices interactions. In this paper, we propose a network slicing architecture for vehicular network application. We are interested especially in the management process. The challenge is to respect the required Quality of Service (QoS) for users during their movement from one slice to another. For this purpose, we propose an algorithm for the control of users’ mobility between different network slices. Mininet emulator and Ryu controller were considered to validate our proposed algorithm.
