Application of Explicit Group Sparse Projection in Optimizing 5G Network Resource Allocation and Topology Design

The growing adoption of 5G networks in diverse domains like IoT, smart cities, healthcare, and industrial automation necessitates advanced optimization techniques. While existing approaches have shown promise, they are often limited by computational intensity, lack of adaptability, and specific focus on geometric constraints. This paper presents EGSP-5G, a novel methodology employing Explicit Group Sparse Projection (EGSP) for 5G network resource allocation and topology design. Its capability to achieve targeted sparsity levels allows for efficient utilization of network resources, thereby making it a versatile and powerful tool for various optimization tasks. Remarkably, EGSP-5G achieved a resource utilization rate of 90.02% and a throughput of 110.32 in networks comprising 1000 nodes. It stands as a robust and versatile solution for optimizing 5G networks across diverse application domains.
