RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR RAN SLICING

A resource allocation method for network slicing and an orchestrator, comprising: uniformly incorporating resources originally bundled statically with the base station into a dynamic resource pool; allocating, by an orchestrator, resources from among the dynamic resource pool for the network slicing based on different network slicing requirements. A static corresponding/ mapping relationship between the hardware/ radio resources and the base station is broken, such that hardware/ radio resources (e.g., radio access network Virtual Network Function (RAN VNF), baseband unit (BBU), RRH (Remote Radio Head) as well as antenna) that originally corresponded to different base stations will be organized as an integrated and dynamic hardware/ radio resource pool and reported to the orchestrator, such that the orchestrator will centrally manage all hardware/ radio resources in this pool and then sufficiently utilize and dynamically orchestrate these hardware/ radio resources based different needs from the network slicing.
