The new fth generation (5G) era has transformed previous mobile generations into fast,
smart networks that will be more responsive and customizable. With network slicing, 5G networks can be
dynamically adapted to the different needs of speci c vertical industries. This capability has opened the
opportunity to new business models whereby infrastructure owners can monetize their investment by leasing
resources to third parties (i.e. tenants). In this respect, a challenging task for the owner of the radio access
network infrastructure (i.e. the network provider) is the spectrum planning of multi-tenant scenarios. This
paper proposes different alternatives of hiring capacity to the provider as well as a set of spectrum planning
strategies, each giving a certain degree of exibility to allocate resources per tenant. These strategies are
evaluated in a 5G small cell multi-tenant network through snapshot-based simulations. The performance of
the strategies is assessed in terms of scalability, spectrum isolation, utilization and ef ciency.
