Research on User Access Selection Mechanism Based on Maximum Throughput for 5G Network Slicing

With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and network technologies, traditional networks cannot cope with the growth of network traffic and the changes in service requirements. The 5-th Generation Mobile Communication (5G) technology improves network transmission performance. In the communication network, 5G combines Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), through the deployment of end-to-end network slicing, to meet the challenge of differentiated service requirements in the complex environment. In the mobile network, users need to choose appropriate slices for access. Its performance is related to the quality of service and determines the efficiency of system resources utilization. We research the problem of slice re-access and slice resource scheduling caused by user mobility in 5G network slicing architecture and propose a slice access mechanism based on maximum throughput. A slice access selection algorithm based on genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed. Related simulations and comparative tests are carried out to prove the effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm.
