Optimal Slice Allocation in 5G Core Networks

Optimal Slice Allocation in 5G Core Networks

Network slicing is the key to providing flexible, scalable and on-demand solutions for the vast array of applications in 5G networks. Two key challenges of 5G networks are the network slicing and guaranteeing end-to-end delay for a slice. In this paper, we address the question of optimal allocation of a slice in 5G core networks. We adopt and extend the work by D. Dietrich et al. [1] to create ...

Distributed Resource Allocation in 5G Cellular Networks

The fifth generation (5G) cellular networks are expected to provide wide variety of high rate (i.e., 300 Mbps and 60 Mbps in downlink and uplink, respectively, in 95 percent of locations and time [1]) multimedia services. The 5G communication platform is seen as a global unified standard with seamless connectivity among existing standards, e.g., High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Long Term Evolut...

Optimal Cross Slice Orchestration for 5G Mobile Services

5G mobile networks encompass the capabilities of hosting a variety of services such as mobile social networks, multimedia delivery, healthcare, transportation, and public safety. Therefore, the major challenge in designing the 5G networks is how to support different types of users and applications with different quality-of-service requirements under a single physical network infrastructure. Rec...

Slice as an Evolutionary Service: Genetic Optimization for Inter-Slice Resource Management in 5G Networks

In the context of Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks, the concept of “slice as a service” (SaaS) promotes mobile network operators to flexibly share infrastructures with mobile service providers and stakeholders. However, it also challenges with an emerging demand for efficient online algorithms to optimize the request-and-decision-based inter-slice resource management strategy. Based on gen...
