Network Slicing: Dynamic Isolation Provisioning and Energy Efficiency

In this chapter, we discuss about a novel resource allocation approach in which network’s energy efficiency is maximized while providing the isolation of slicing. To address this problem, a hierarchical framework is proposed with three participants, i.e., cellular users, MVNOs, and InPs. The goal of this work is to jointly maximize the revenues of both MVNOs and InPs while satisfying the service level agreements among MVNOs/InPs.
