5G network slicing algorithm based on prediction by Jiageng ZHANG, Min ZHU, Feng DU, Qi WANG, Jun LIU, Zhihai SUO, Li WANG

“…5G on line scenario needs short build time of network slice, it can use prediction algorithm to isolate network resource in advance to reduce the construction time of network slice.A 5G network slicing algorithm based on prediction was proposed, which used fourth square as cost function to predict the network resource requests with accepted accurate and lower complexity of algorithm.And then based on the prediction result, virtual nodes and links resource were allocated, and container was pulled up when network slice request arrives to network, the dynamic creation of network slices was completed.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can get 90% accurate of prediction, and reduce 50% construction time of network slice, and improve the network utilization ration，when new network slice reusing the original network slice.…”
