With the capability to support gigabit data rates, millimetre-wave (mm-Wave) communication is unanimously considered a key technology of future cellular networks. However, the harsh propagation at such high frequencies makes these networks…

Through network slicing, different requirements of different applications and services can be met. These requirements can be in terms of latency, bandwidth, mobility support, defining service area, as well as security. Through fine and…

The commercialization of Cloud-RAN, and Open-RAN in particular, is a key factor to enable 5G cell densification, by providing lower cost and more agile deployment of small cells. In addition, the adoption of MEC is important to support…

Network slicing emerged in 5G networks as a key component to enable the use of multiple services with different performance requirements on top of a shared physical network infrastructure. A major challenge lies on ensuring wireless…

To cope with the growing demand for wireless data and to extend service coverage, future 5G networks will increasingly rely on the use of low powered nodes to support massive connectivity in diverse set of applications and services [1]. To…

The ever-increasing number of resource-constrained Machine-Type Communication (MTC) devices is leading to the critical challenge of fulfilling diverse communication requirements in dynamic and ultra-dense wireless environments. Among…

Regulators all around the world have started identifying the portions of the spectrum that will be used for the next generation of cellular networks. A band in the mmWave spectrum will be exploited to increase the available capacity. In…

The millimeter wave (mmWave) bands offer the possibility of orders of magnitude greater throughput for fifth generation (5G) cellular systems. However, since mmWave signals are highly susceptible to blockage, channel quality on any one…

A pivotal attribute of 5G networks is their capability to cater to diverse application requirements. This is achieved by creating logically isolated virtual networks, or slices, with distinct service level agreements (SLAs) tailored to…

Network slicing enables the deployment of multiple dedicated virtual sub-networks, i.e. slices on a shared physical infrastructure. Unlike traditional one-size-fits-all resource provisioning schemes, each network slice (NS) in 5G is…

End-to-End (E2E) network slicing enables wireless networks to provide diverse services on a common infrastructure. Each E2E slice, including resources of radio access network (RAN) and core network, is rented to mobile virtual network…

This letter investigates the problem of providing gigabit wireless access with reliable communication in 5G millimeter-Wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks. In contrast to the classical network design based…

Supporting ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) is a major challenge of 5G wireless networks. Stringent delay and reliability requirements need to be satisfied for both scheduled and non-scheduled URLLC traffic to enable a…

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) antenna systems and inter-band carrier aggregation (CA)-enabled multi-band communication are two key technologies to achieve very high data rates in beyond fifth generation (B5G) wireless…

We model the scenarios of network slicing allocation for the micro-operator (MO) network. The MO creates the slices "as a service" of wireless resource and then allocates these slices to multiple mobile network operators (MNOs). We propose…

With the increasing network densification, it has become exceedingly difficult to provide traditional fiber backhaul access to each cell site, which is especially true for small cell base stations (SBSs). The increasing maturity of…

The challenging requirements of 5G--from both the applications and the architecture perspectives--motivate the need to explore the feasibility of delivering services over new network architectures. As 5G proposes application-centric network…

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is a promising technology to cope with the exponential increase in 5G data traffic. Such networks typically require a very dense deployment of base stations. A subset of those, so-called macro base…
