Online Multi-Resource Allocation for Network Slicing in 5G with Distributed Algorithms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the increasing scale of mobile cellular network applications, 5G mobile network infrastructure provides customizable services to users in the form of network slices. How to effectively allocate existing resources in real dynamic networks with time-varying network utility is a key issue that previous work did not consider. This paper first initializes the multi-resource allocation problem of network slicing in an online manner, where the utility function is set to change over time. Therefore, we propose Metis, an online network slicing resource allocation framework that combines the time-varying nature of the network utility function given bandwidth and processing power constraints with the requirement of virtual network function isolation. The goal is to maximize the cumulative network utility in the long term and specify multiple resource allocation problems by utilizing concave optimization methods. In addition, a distributed algorithm based on the online alternating direction method of multipliers with regret optimization has been developed to achieve optimal resource allocation. Our mathematical analysis proves that Metis can provably converge to the optimal solution and the result of experiments demonstrates a steady state behavior of Metis, which converges in dynamic network settings.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
