Study on Resource Allocation Schemes for 5G Heterogenous Networks

ABSTRACT

Resource allocation in a 5G heterogeneous network involves efficiently managing and distributing network resources to different types of devices and services to ensure optimal performance and quality of service. Some of the key aspects considered for allocation in a 5G heterogeneous network include frequency spectrum allocation, cell association, handover, load balancing, interference management, network slicing, QoS differentiation, etc. This paper presents a brief study on resource allocation schemes in 5G networks. It explains the three 5G uses cases and how resource allocation is performed in 5G network. The paper further reviewed some existing schemes proposed for efficient allocation of network resources in 5G network. Some of the schemes were proposed to handle resource allocation problem for only one-use cases i.e. either eMBB, mMTC or URLLC while some of the schemes were proposed for multiple use cases.
