Title
QoS-Based Virtualization of User Equipment in 5G Networks (Invited Paper)
Abstract
This paper develops an innovative scalable and low-cost QoS-based user equipment (UE) virtualization (UEV) scheme that capitalizes on the massive connectivity and the enhanced resources of the new UE generation in terms of connectivity, computing, battery/power, etc. Exploiting the need/excess duality and the heterogeneity in such resources at the UE plan, we form virtual UEs (VUE)s, dynamically, owing to a carefully-designed time-adjusting scheme for the selection of the proper cooperative UE sets. The new UEV scheme is able to adapt to each target UE (TUE) environment, meet its demands, and scale with its needs, offers a reliable and efficient yet low-cost inter-UE cooperation, reduces the overhead and power consumption with respect to conventional approaches, and substantially reduces the number of communication links and, hence, incurs much less interference. System-level simulation results show that the proposed QoS-based UEV scheme largely outperforms the “dummy UEs” approach.
