Among the novelties introduced by 5G networks, the formalization of thenetwork slice'as a
resource allocation unit is an important one. In legacy networks, resources such as link
bandwidth, spectrum, computing capacity are allocated independently of each other. In 5G
environments, a network slice is meant to directly serve end-to-end services, or verticals:
behind a network slice demand, a tenant expresses the need to access a precise service
type, under a fully qualified set of computing and network requirements. The resource …

Network slicing in 5G aims to provide an end-to-end partition of the physical network that is
optimized for the service it has to supply. Each slice needs to fulfill a Service Level
Agreement (SLA), that is a contract between the slice provider and the tenants on the quality
of service and reliability, expressed for a diverse set of physical resources (spectrum, link
capacity, computing power, etc). For the multi-resource allocation problem in network slicing,
we provide two scheduling algorithms that take into account SLA requirements in terms of …
