Abstract

In this paper, the radio resource allocation problem of two 5G traffics: Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB) is studied. While eMBB traffic demands high data rates, URLLC traffic requires low latency and high reliability. To solve the formulated problem, an algorithm based on a heuristic approach is proposed. This enables the maximisation of the number of eMBB traffics admitted to the system with guaranteed data rates, while ensuring the allocation of power and bandwidth for all URLCC traffics with guaranteed latency and reliability requirements. The results of the simulation tests confirm that the proposed approach meets the URLLC reliability requirements while maintaining the eMBB data rates.
