Abstract

A new era is opening for the world of information and communication technologies with the 5G networks’ release. Indeed 5G networks appear in modern wireless systems as solutions to “traditional” networks’ inflexibility and lack of radio resources problems. Using these networks the operators can expand their services’ range at will and, therefore, manage daily operations by monitoring ‘key performance indicators’ (KPIs) - helping meet the quality of service (QoS) requirements much easily. To meet the QoS requirements 5G networks can be implemented alongside priority scheduling algorithms. This paper considers the operation of a wireless network slicing model under two scheduling algorithms. A comparative analysis of main performance measures is provided.
