| dc.description.abstract | The rapid evolution of 5G New Radio networks has introduced a wide range of services with diverse requirements, complicating their coexistence within the shared radio spectrum and posing challenges in traffic scheduling and resource allocation. This study aims to analyze and categorize the methods, approaches, and techniques proposed to ensure efficient joint and dynamic packet scheduling and resource allocation among heterogeneous services—namely eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC—in 5G and beyond, with a focus on Quality of Service and user satisfaction. This scoping review draws from publications indexed in IEEE Xplore and Scopus and synthesizes the most relevant evidence related to packet scheduling across heterogeneous services, highlighting key approaches, core performance metrics, and emerging trends. Following the PRISMA-ScR methodology, 48 out of an initial 140 articles were included for explicitly addressing coexistence, scheduling, and resource allocation. The findings reveal a research emphasis on eMBB and URLLC coexistence, while integration with mMTC remains underexplored. Moreover, the evidence suggests that hybrid and deep learning-based approaches are particularly promising for tackling coexistence and resource management challenges in future mobile networks. | por |
