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.…”

“…Conversely, alpha event-related synchronization (ERS) in the parietal and occipital regions, as well as ERS in the frontal, central, and temporal regions, were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. The source-functional connectivity results revealed that the primary differences between the experimental and control groups were concentrated between the left V1 and right V1, as well as among the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and primary motor cortex (M1). …”

Distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization theory in VANET by Guozhen TAN, Guodong HAN, Fuxin ZHANG, Nan DING, Mingjian LIU

“…Cooperative vehicle safety system (CVSS) rely on periodical beacons to track neighboring vehicles.High traffic density often causes channel congestion,seriously damaging the performance of CVSS.Existing congestion control strategies aim to ensure the performance in network layer,without considering the service requirements of vehicles in different driving contexts.To solve the problem,a distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization (NUM) theory was proposed.First of all,the NUM model for channel resource allocation was introduced.A utility function reflecting vehicle’s safety requirements was proposed in the model.Then under the condition of fixed transmit powers,a optimization problem of channel resource allocation was proposed.Lastly,to solve the optimization problem,a distributed congestion control algorithm named utility-based rate congestion control (UBRCC) algorithm was designed,the algorithm worked out the optimal beaconing rate by updating vehicle’s congestion price,realizing the resource allocation according to vehicle’s safety requirements.Simulation results validate that UBRCC algorithm can efficiently control channel congestion,reduce transmission delay,ensure reliable data transmission and satisfies the requirements of safety applications.…”
