To this direction, 5G incorporates many technologies and mechanisms that aid towards the overall goal, such as Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO), Downlink (DL) and Uplink (UL) Decoupling (DUDe) and Machine Learning (ML). These technologies can significantly help towards more efficient resource allocation inside the next generation networks, offering increased spectral efficiency and data rates, better signal coverage, reduced latencies and many more. In this chapter, we will provide insights over the aforementioned technologies through firstly a literature review and later on by analyzing their architecture and their models. We will explain how these technologies can be taken advantage of in order to support the 5G networks and why they are core components of future networks, as it is expected that also 5G and Beyond networks will capitalize on them. %B Advances in Engineering Research, Nova Science Publishers %V 46 %P 147-188 %G eng %& 3 %0 Conference Paper %B The 2021 IEEE International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC 2021), October 31 – November 2, 2021, Dubai - UAE %D 2021 %T Clustering Based User Allocation in 5G Networks %A Christos Bouras %A Rafail Kalogeropoulos %A Ioannis Sina %X Machine Learning is an extremely efficient technique for solving complex problems without the use of traditional programming but rather enabling machines to learn from an input of data and train them to cope with various problems. The rapid growth in the number of active mobile devices, mobile applications and services dictate an efficient utilization of mobile and wireless networking infrastructure. Communication networks need to evolve and valorize Machine Learning methods in order to process large volumes of data without introducing excessive time delay in these computations. Upcoming 5G systems are expected to be the first network infrastructure to support exploding mobile traffic volumes and Machine Learning techniques can be used in order to help manage the rise in data volumes. We present a mechanism for resource allocation in mobile and wireless networks, that effectively utilizes Machine Learning techniques. %B The 2021 IEEE International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC 2021), October 31 – November 2, 2021, Dubai - UAE %G eng
