Abstract：
Internet of Things (IoT) is a key enabler of smart cities, where a variety of applications proliferate to help citizen services. As different IoT applications have different service holders, it becomes necessary to employ network slicing (NS) to provide distinct virtual networks and differentiated QoS guarantees. Other than conventional IoT scenario, IoT applications relies on 5G networks for broad coverage, ultra low latency, and reliable connection. This work, in particular, proposes a self organizing network (SON) driven network slicing architecture, where software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) also play as the key enablers. Next, we introduce resource management for network slicing with deep learning technologies. Finally, we provide preliminary simulation results to justify the effectiveness and efficiency of our design.
