Abstract: The method includes obtaining a first set of support and confidence parameters, identifying a first set of VNFs of a plurality of VNFs of the communication network based on the first set of support and confidence parameters, and determining association information by mining rules within VNFs of the first set of VNFs using the support and confidence parameters. A second set of VNFs, of the plurality of VNFs, are then selected based on the association information, and an operation of the communication network is controlled using the first set of VNFs and the second set of VNFs.
