Network slicing resource allocation strategy based on joint optimization by Zaijian WANG, Huimin GU

“…To improve network resource utilization that was decreased by different applications with different requirements in 5G networks, a network slicing resource allocation strategy based on joint optimization was proposed, which was utilized to maximize both network resource utilization and network revenue by comprehensively considering in tra-slice and inter-slice resource schedule.Firstly, the user’s average satisfaction function was defined in the inter-slicing resource allocation problem.Furthermore, in terms of the number of users, slicing schedule delay and priority, a proportional fair resource allocation algorithm based on quality of service (QoS) was proposed, which was employed to achieve the best tradeoff between fairness and the users’ requirements among slices.Secondly, after two functions (service degradation and resource migration) were introduced in the inter-slice resource schedule problem, two price models were established for internal access users and external access users respectively, where congestion and non-congestion conditions were analyzed.According to the proposed price models, a Stackelberg game between the base station and users was constructed, and a global search algorithm with low complexity was leveraged to obtain the best response of the game, where the best tradeoff between the base station revenue and user utility was obtained.Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can effectively improve resource utilization and network revenue while reducing network congestion.Therefore, it can better realize fairness in resource allocation.…”

Outdoor location scheme with fingerprinting based on machine learning of mobile cellular network by Zhichao ZHOU, Yi FENG, Xiaohan XIA, Yuyao FENG, Chao CAI, Jiahui QIU, Lihui YANG, Yunxiao WU

“…The positioning scheme based on mobile cellular network technology is one of the important technical approaches to provide network optimization, emergency rescue, police patrol and location services.The traditional positioning scheme based on cell base station location information has low positioning accuracy and large positioning error, so it cannot meet the requirements of some positioning applications.The scheme based on fingerprint location can greatly improve the location accuracy, save computational cost and enhance the usability based on the coarse location scheme of the cell and become the hotspot of the research.Rasterization and non-rasterization of outdoor fingerprint location scheme based on machine learning were studied and analyzed to meet the business requirements of outdoor fingerprint location.By means of parameter weighting, data fitting and other methods, large-scale fingerprint data were cleaned to improve the effectiveness of data sources.Through the realization of sub-modules such as demarcating research area, rasterizing, constructing fingerprint database, training model, correcting model, non-rasterizing, rough positioning coupling, matching parameter and training parameter, the operation efficiency and positioning accuracy of the algorithm were analyzed and optimized, and the key indexes affecting the algorithm performance were determined.Then, the performance of two fingerprint-based localization schemewas analyzed based on the simulation results.Finally, the typical scenarios of the fingerprint location scheme based on machine learning in practical application were presented.…”
