Review of QoS-aware resource allocation schemes for 5g networks

Abstract

Resource management in wireless networks refers to the processes and techniques used to allocate, control, and optimize the various resources in a wireless communication system to ensure efficient and reliable operation. These resources typically include spectrum (frequency bands), power, time slots, and network infrastructure (e.g., base stations, access points). Effective resource management is crucial for maximizing network performance, ensuring Quality of Service (QoS), and providing a good user experience, especially in environments with limited resources and high demand. Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the ability of the network to provide different levels of service quality to various types of traffic, applications, and users. QoS in 5G is essential due to the diverse range of services the network is designed to support, each with its own specific requirements for performance metrics such as latency, reliability, bandwidth, and availability. In this paper, we study how the QoS-aware resource allocation procedure is handled in wireless networks. Different resource management techniques were studied and also the paper looked at some of the existing QoS-aware resources allocation schemes by highlighting the operation, strength and weakness and the QoS parameters considered by each of the schemes.
