Method for customized, situation-aware orchestration of decentralized network resources

A system for performing network function virtualization (NFV) management and orchestration (MANO) operations in a telecommunications network, wherein the telecommunications network includes stationary infrastructure components and mobile infrastructure components that communicate with stationary infrastructure components via wireless links, the system comprising:

• one or more processors located at a mobile network node which, alone or in combination, are configured to:
• collect mobile network node condition data that specifies network conditions present at the mobile network node, and
• execute MANO decision logic, wherein the MANO decision logic provides, based on input that includes at least the mobile network node condition data, at least one MANO operation decision as output,
• wherein the mobile network node is one of the mobile infrastructure components of the telecommunications network that communicate with the stationary infrastructure components of the telecommunications network via the wireless links.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon which, upon being executed by one or more processors, alone or in combination, provide for execution of a method comprising:

• collecting mobile network node condition data that specifies network conditions present at a mobile network node;
• providing the mobile network node condition data to a distributed NFV-MANO system component located at the mobile network node;
• and
• executing MANO decision logic, wherein the MANO decision logic provides, based on input that includes at least the mobile network node condition data, at least one MANO operation decision as output,
• wherein the mobile network node is one of the mobile infrastructure components of the telecommunications network that communicate with the stationary infrastructure components of the telecommunications network via the wireless links.
