Network Slicing: Radio Resource Allocation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Network Slicing for 5G and Beyond Networks

Abstract

Radio resource allocation has always been considered to be a challenging task in the cellular networks due to limited spectrum. This becomes even more challenging as fifth generation (5G) cellular networks have an even higher expectation in terms of facilitating end users with higher data rate and lower end-to-end latency. One promising technology that can support to deliver is wireless network virtualization (WNV). In this chapter, we discuss about the vital challenges of WNV, a number of solution approaches, and their benefits for different WNV scenarios. First, we discuss about the resource allocation problem in which one InP allocates their resources to different MVNO users. Second, we discuss about resource allocation approach in a multiple InP environment. Moreover, these approaches consider spectrum resources as the OFDMA-based sub-channels.
