Due to their initial overestimation of demand, many network operators are overprovisioning
their infrastructure. Overdesigned networks vastly increase operational costs without …

The third-generation partnership introduced three main types of slices: enhanced mobile
broadband, massive machine-type communication, and ultrareliable low-latency …

Slicing allows 5G networks to accommodate services with different needs over a unified
physical network infrastructure. Particularly, in radio access networks (RANs), the baseband …

This work presents a case study for the network planning of a 5G backhaul in a dense urban
area. The study is fed by estimated population density data and real geographical layout …

Network slicing has been proposed as an innovative concept to partition a physical network
into different configurable slices, thereby allowing the network to meet the diverse …

Network slicing with Quality of Experience/Quality of Service (QoE/QoS) guarantees is seen
as one of the key enablers of future 5G networks. Nevertheless, it poses several challenges …

Currently, 5G and the forthcoming 6G mobile communication systems are the most
promising cellular generations expected to beat the growing hunger for bandwidth and …

Network slicing is a key concept in 5G networking. It enables an infrastructure provider (InP)
to support heterogeneous services over a common platform by creating a customized slice …

Given their widespread use, optical access networks are suitable as a practical infrastructure
for mobile networks and services. The diverse range of services supported by mobile …

Dynamic network slicing has emerged as a promising and fundamental framework for
meeting 5G's diverse use cases. As machine learning (ML) is expected to play a pivotal role …
