Ultra‐dense networking is considered an effective solution to achieve high capacity in 5G networks. However, the densely distributed base stations (BSs) in ultra‐dense networks (UDNs) make the inter‐cell interference much more serious than that in traditional cellular networks. Therefore, it is important to mitigate inter‐cell interference in the UDNs to improve network performance. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel virtual resource mapping algorithm that includes a resource reservation (RR) algorithm and a real‐time resource embedding (RE) algorithm. Specifically, according to the number of services predicted by a dynamic service model, the RR algorithm is proposed to determine the sets of multiplexing BSs in the next time cycle and reserve channel resource required by each BS. Then, to further reduce inter‐cell interference, the real‐time RE algorithm is proposed to allocate the channel resource in real time. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio and acceptance ratio, compared to the existing algorithms, such as the frequency reuse channel allocation algorithm and inter‐cell interference coordination algorithm.
