Abstract:
A method, performed by a server, of adjusting allocation of computing resources to a plurality of virtualized network functions (VNFs), and the server are provided. The method includes: for processing at least one task related to user equipments (UEs) connected to the server, identifying a plurality of VNFs related to the task; obtaining predicted traffic expected to be generated in the server by processing the task via the plurality of VNFs; obtaining, from at least one associated server, status information of computing resources in the at least one associated server; and adjusting allocation of computing resources to the plurality of VNFs based on the status information of the computing resources in the at least one associated server and the predicted traffic, wherein the at least one associated server includes another server that processes the task.
