Abstract

En 中文
The interference resulting from densification of access points and the coexistence of different numerologies within the same spectrum severely hinders inter-slice isolation. We propose a slice allocation policy that enforces inter-slice isolation by minimizing the inter-slice interference suffered by each virtual operator. In detail, we design a binary quadratic non-convex optimization problem that minimizes i) the inter-slice interference generated by interfering base stations and ii) the inter-slice interference generated by the multiplexing of spectrum slices having different numerologies. We also provide a heuristic algorithm to render the solution scalable in practical scenarios. We assess the performance of both approaches by evaluating the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) associated to each slice through simulations. Results reveal that the heuristic algorithm provides a solution comparable with the optimal one on different minimization scenarios. Moreover, a considerable SINR improvement is observed with respect to a base-line scheme that does not account for inter-slice interference.
