Slices were introduced in 5G to enable the co-existence of applications with different
requirements on a single infrastructure. Slices may be delay-constrained for mission-critical …

Network slicing (NS) presents the key enabler of cellular network improvements. It allows
enhancing the performance of diverse requirements supported for verticals industries. The …

This paper presents a novel approach for network slicing in 5G backhaul networks, targeting
services with low or very low latency requirements. We propose a modified A* algorithm that …

In recent years, hybrid fiber-wireless (Fi-Wi) networks that integrate optical network
technology and wireless communication technology have received widespread attention …

Network slicing and resource allocation play pivotal roles in software-defined network
(SDN)/network function virtualization (NFV)-assisted 5G networks. In 5G communications …

One of the primary aims for 5G networks is the flexibility to support vertical services as the
primary requirement. The use cases of 5G networks are AR/VR, eHealth, Video Streaming …

Network slicing is the key technology in 5G wireless communication, which aims to provide
services based on latency, availability, reliability, throughput and more. With the rapid …

Network softwarization has paved the way for 5G technologies, and a wide-range of
(radically new) verticals. As the telecommunications infrastructure evolves into a sort of …

Network Function Virtualization decouples network function deployment from dedicated
hardware and reduces costs. Network services are structured as chains of VNFs. Each chain …

The major use cases for IMT-2020 include enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-
reliable and low latency communication (URLLC). URLLC packets occur sporadically, but …
