Abstract
A method for providing network orchestration for industrial communication system with multiple network slices, comprising:—calculating centralities of nodes in the industrial communication system;—grouping nodes with similar centralities of nodes into clusters;—selecting cluster head for each cluster that is responsible for the resources allocation for the members of the cluster; and—calculating centrality metric for cluster centralities, so as to orchestrate the industrial communication system.

A method for providing network orchestration for industrial communication system (ICS) with multiple network slices, comprising:
- calculating centralities of nodes in the industrial communication system;
- grouping nodes with similar centralities of nodes into clusters;
- selecting cluster head for each cluster;
- and
- calculating centrality metric for cluster centralities, so as to orchestrate the industrial communication system,
- wherein the cluster centralities are calculated as:
- mean of the betweeness centrality of the nodes of cluster;
- betweeness centrality of the node with the maximum closeness centrality to the nodes of the cluster;
- betweeness centrality of the cluster head;
- and/or
- betweeness centrality of the node connected to the neighboring cluster.
An orchestrator for providing network orchestration for industrial communication system (ICS) with multiple network slices, being configured to:
- calculate centralities of nodes in the industrial communication system;
- group nodes with similar centralities of nodes into clusters;
- select cluster head for each cluster that is responsible for the resources allocation for the members of the cluster;
- and
- calculate centrality metric for cluster centralities, so as to orchestrate the industrial communication system,
- wherein the cluster centralities are calculated as:
- mean of the betweeness centrality of the nodes of cluster;
- betweeness centrality of the node with the maximum closeness centrality to the nodes of the cluster;
- betweeness centrality of the cluster head;
- and/or
- betweeness centrality of the node connected to the neighboring cluster.
