Abstract
In this paper, we solve virtualized passive optical network (VPON) assignment and virtualized baseband unit (vBBU) placement using an integer linear programming formulation, an approximated heuristic using linear relaxation, and a proactive heuristic based on a specific kind of recurrent neural network. We also studied the application of multi-step forecasting in Cloud-Fog Radio Access Network (CF-RAN) traffic demands for joint use with integer linear programming once it allows the solver more time to generate solutions. Also, we examine if the error in batch prediction impacts the final solution in terms of blocking and correctness.
