The article proposes algorithms for allocating channel resources in a heterogeneous radio access network that simultaneously uses the frequency resources of a 5G network and an unlicensed wireless access network. It is shown that the use of a balancer in such network will make it possible to level the problem of the mutual wireless technologies influence, in particular, interference. To implement the algorithms, it is proposed to use the capabilities of the cloud server architecture.
The work is aimed at organizing virtualization and developing load balancing in a 5G network. Based on existing software and hardware solutions, a virtual network is built that reflects the general concept of organizing a cloud RAN. The basic functionality of load balancing is described in the form of redirecting requests depending on the type of requested traffic and advanced – restrictions on access to the channel / resource for several types of subscribers. It is shown that such a system can be implemented on the basis of Linux OS, Nginx server with upstream module. To illustrate the experiment, a Docker container is used that supports the structure of layers, on each of which a PHP handler is launched that determines the operation of the balancer.
