Network virtualization is becoming one of the most promising ways to solve resource solidification problem of fiber-wireless access networks. To fully utilize substrate resources, a virtual resource embedding method including three sub-mechanisms is presented in this paper. The first one is the priority-based virtual network request (VNR) selecting mechanism, which sorts VNRs and preferentially selects higher priority VNRs for embedding. Then a dynamic embedding mechanism based on load balancing is presented to increase the acceptance rate of VNRs. Second, when embedding is saturated, an embedding update mechanism is proposed to deal with the arrival of new VNRs. It promotes the acceptance rate of high-priority VNRs and the revenue of the infrastructure provider (InP). Finally, a backup resource sharing mechanism is designed to improve reliability, which enables backup resources to be shared and responds to the failures with minimal resources. The simulation results show that the proposed embedding method can balance the resource consumption better than the Greedy Node Embedding and Shortest-path Link Embedding Algorithm, as well as the Greedy Node Embedding and Maximum Residual Bandwidth Link Embedding Algorithm. Besides, by applying our proposed algorithm, higher VNR acceptance rate, InP revenue, and resource utilization are achieved. |
