Adaptive Spectrum Allocation for 5G Wireless Communication Scenarios

5G resources should be properly planned for users to have a good quality of service. This planning includes defining the most suitable numerology indexes and best spectrum allocation considering the requirements of current traffic, which may change over time. Furthermore, when accounting for changes in traffic pattern, any necessary reconfigurations should be minimized. Here in this article, an optimization model is developed for the planning of spectrum allocation to the best mix numerology. The model considers adapting the operating numerology mix according to the current presence (or not) of traffic requirements. The model also works under any wireless communication scenario in 5G, and under any traffic pattern.
