Examples
1. Minimize an attribute of the demand
{
"goal": "minimize",
"operation_function": {
"operands": [
{
"function": "attribute",
"params": {
"attribute": "latency",
"demand": "urllc_core"
}
}
],
"operator": "sum"
}
} |
2. Minimize the sum of the distance between the demand and the customer location.
objective function - distance_between(demand, location) + distance_between(demand, location)
{
"goal": "minimize",
"operation_function": {
"operator": "sum",
"operands": [
{
"function": "distance_between",
"weight": 1.0,
"params": {
"demand": "vG",
"location": "customer_loc"
}
},
{
"function": "distance_between",
"weight": 1.0,
"params": {
"demand": "vFW",
"location": "customer_loc"
}
}
]
}
} |
Scenario:
Minimize the sum of latencies of slice subnets
objective function - latency(demand) + latency(demand)
{
"goal": "minimize",

"operator": "sum",
"operands": [
{
"function": "attribute",
"weight": 1.0,

}
},
{
"function": "attribute",
"weight": 1.0,
"params": {
"demand": "urllc_ran",
"attribute": "latency"
}
}
]
}
} |
Scenario:
Max [ sum ( W_bw * min (ran_nssi_bw, core_nssi_bw, tr_nssi_bw), 1/(W_lat * ( sum (w1 * ran_nssi_lat, w2 core_lat, W3* tn_lat)) ) ]

}
]
},
"normalization": {
"start": 50,
"end": 5
},
"weight": 1.0
}
]
}
} |
normalization:
function(value, range(start, end), weight)
All ranges are converted to 0 to 1. The inverse operation is not needed since it is already implied in the range.
normalized value = (value - start) / (end-start)
Eg:
latency range: 50 ms to 5 ms
| candidate latency | Normalized value |
|---|---|
| 20 ms | 0.667 |
| 40 ms | 0.222 |
throughput range: 100 Mbps to 1000Mbps
| candidate throughput | Normalized value |
|---|---|
| 300 Mbps | 0.222 |
| 800 Mbps | 0.778 |
