Channel-Aware 5G RAN Slicing with Customizable Schedulers

Explore a cutting-edge research presentation on 5G RAN slicing that introduces RadioSaber, a novel mechanism for efficient resource allocation in 5G networks. Delve into the challenges of dividing radio resources across slices while maintaining high spectrum efficiency, fairness, and isolation. Learn how the researchers from UIUC and EPFL tackle the cyclic dependency between inter-slice and enterprise schedulers to incorporate channel awareness at both levels. Discover how RadioSaber achieves significant throughput improvements over existing techniques while supporting customizable enterprise scheduling policies. Gain insights into the implementation and evaluation of this innovative approach using an open-source RAN simulator.
