Abstract
In edge computing that deploys a function regarding network user data near equipment, deployment of a network function is flexibly controlled. An acquisition unit acquires information regarding performance corresponding to a deployment position of a predetermined partial function of a network. A fixing unit fixes the deployment position of the predetermined partial function of the network on the basis of the information regarding the performance. A setting request unit issues a request of setting the predetermined partial function of the network for the deployment position fixed by the fixing unit to a network.

A network deployment control apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding performance corresponding to a deployment position of a predetermined partial function of a network;
- a fixing unit configured to fix the deployment position of the partial function on a basis of the information regarding the performance;
- and
- a setting request unit configured to issue a request of setting the partial function for the fixed deployment position, to the network.
A communication system comprising:
- a network;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding performance corresponding to a deployment position of a predetermined partial function of the network;
- a fixing unit configured to fix the deployment position of the partial function on a basis of the information regarding the performance;
- and
- a setting request unit configured to issue a request of setting the partial function for the fixed deployment position, to the network.
A network deployment control method comprising:
- causing an acquisition unit to perform an acquisition procedure of acquiring information regarding performance corresponding to a deployment position of a predetermined partial function of a network;
- causing a fixing unit to perform a fixing procedure of fixing the deployment position of the partial function on a basis of the information regarding the performance;
- and
- causing a setting request unit to perform a setting request procedure of issuing a request of setting the partial function for the fixed deployment position, to the network.
