Dynamic network slicing and resource allocation for heterogeneous wireless services

Abstract

In this paper, we study dynamic bandwidth slicing and resource allocation problems to support a mixture of IoT (Internet of Things) and video streaming services. By employing Lyapunov optimization method with time-scale separation approach, we develop algorithms for long time-scale bandwidth slicing, and short time-scale IoT device scheduling, power allocation (for IoT service) and quality decision (for video streaming service). We show through simulations that proposed dynamic bandwidth slicing and resource allocation algorithms outperform the static bandwidth slicing and resource allocation policies in terms of average total cost and average total delay.
