1. A computer-implemented method for resource management in a fifth generation (5G) network, the method comprising:
monitoring a platform queue in a 5G network for a dedicated traffic channel (DTCH) request;
responsive to receipt of a DTCH request, identifying a plurality of processor cores of an evolved-universal-terrestrial-radio-access-network Node B (eNodeB) to which the DTCH request may be assigned;
determining a utilization level of each processor core;
identifying a sub-set of processor cores having utilization levels below a threshold value;
for each processor core identified as underutilized, determining logical channels allocated to the underutilized processor cores; and
reallocating the logical channels to a set of active processor cores of the plurality of processor cores, the set of active processor cores having utilization levels above the threshold value.
