Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the resource management for radio access network slicing from user access control and wireless bandwidth allocation perspectives. First, to guarantee users' QoS, we propose two admission control (AC) policies to select admissible users from the perspective of optimizing the QoS and the number of serving users respectively. Then, to optimize the bandwidth utilization for the selected admissible users, we investigate the slice association and bandwidth allocation (SABA) problem and propose network centric and UE centric SABA policies respectively. Numerical results show that in typical scenarios, our proposed AC and SABA policies can significantly outperform traditional policies in terms of wireless bandwidth utilization and number of admissible users.
