Abstract Radio resource and its management is one of the key areas of research where technologies, infrastructure and challenges are rapidly changing as 5G system architecture demands a paradigm shift. The previous generation communication technologies require customizations and upgrades as 5G will remain inclusive for significantly long duration. Radio resource management (RRM) schemes that are evolved during LTE/LTE-A network environment period will remain relevant for 5G, however, these schemes must become more intelligent and adaptive for future as features and requirements of network and users will be diverse and highly demanding. In this paper, a comprehensive view is provided upon various aspects of RRM, its challenges and existing schemes. The existing RRM schemes are presented with their respective architecture which has significant impact on the approaches. The problem of RRM is multi-dimensional and different dimensions are presented with their respective solutions such as interference or energy management. In this paper study of legacy and state of the art RRM schemes is presented with their features and inefficiencies in the modern telecommunication era of heterogeneous, ultra-dense, very low latency and highly reliable mobile network. In addition to this various comparison among approaches and schemes are presented for analyzing the solutions. The need of RRM solution is critical and this paper aim is to outline the challenges, existing solutions and directions for research to find and develop smarter and more adaptive schemes for future.

1 Introduction Recent technological advancements (i.e., IoT, cloud, bigdata, smart city, ultra-high definition video, online gaming, multimedia applications, etc.,) have transformed the requirements of telecommunication and conventional cellular systems, (e.g., 3rd Generation (3G) Universal Mobile Telecommunication System and Long-Term Evolution) [1]. Fourth Generation (4G) mobile telecommunication system which is also known as advanced LTE (LTE& Tafseer Akhtar [email protected] Christos Tselios [email protected] Ilias Politis [email protected] 1

A), requires futuristic technological leap to work in synchronization with next generation. The advancement towards 5th Generation (5G) cellular system is inevitable, however 5G will be an inclusive evolution which will include the existing systems and technologies with compatibility changes. The previous generation cellular system will not be completely replaced but evolve towards the 5G environment. Radio resource management is key for satisfying the standard requirements of 5G
