1. A system for spectrum utilization management in a wireless network comprising:
a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) layer in a network slice;
a radio access network (RAN); a core network;
a wireless network resource optimization application in the MEC layer;
a Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) operable to select suitable network slice instances for at least one application; and
a virtualized interface;
wherein the MEC layer is in communication with the RAN and the core network;
wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to optimize network resources based on goals for the network slice, a customer goals index vector, and a quality of service (QoS) required by the at least one application;
wherein the customer goals index vector is a vector of binary values;
wherein the MEC layer supports cloud computing for the network slice;
wherein the virtualized interface includes management and orchestration (MANO);
wherein the MANO is operable to coordinate network services; and
wherein the wireless network resource optimization application is operable to create the customer goals index vector.
