Title: Resource Allocation and Pricing in 5G Network Slicing Abstract: Network slicing is one of the potential technologies to support a higher degree of heterogeneity and flexibility required by next-generation services in 5G networks. In 5G environments, a network slicing is a specific form of virtualisation that allows multiple logical networks (e.g., Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs)) to run on top of shared physical infrastructure. In emerging 5G mobile technology, network design also incorporates data-centers into their plan to support computation offloading and network function virtualization. Thus, a slice will often comprise different resource types. (e.g., radio resource, CPU, memory, bandwidth). That implies that a heterogeneous set of resources is shared among Slice tenants or MVNOs, and a portion of them is allocated to each slice to support dedicated service to their customers. The core challenge in this context is to determine at once the price of the available of heterogeneous resources and their assignment across different slices. This thesis presents different novel resource allocation and pricing models for 5G network slicing. First, we devise a flexible sharing mechanism based on a bidding scheme which is Plus d'infos
