	abstract = {Network slicing (NS) will have an essential role to enhance the isolation and the flexibility of the future generation of cellular networks (5G) with heterogeneous capabilities, notably in ultra-dense (UD) urban zones. Thus, it may be the principal component necessary to respond to 5G UD heterogeneous networks (UD-HetNets) technical requirements. The aim of this paper is to propose a new NS architecture to resolve user equipment (UE)-association problem in 5G UD-HetNets. Accordingly, we formulated the problem as a one-to-many matching game based on matching theory, while exploiting the isolation character of slicing to eliminate interferences between pico-cells and those among macro-cell and pico-cells. Next, we proposed the UE-slice association algorithm (U-S.AA) to find the stable matching among user equipments (UEs) and different network slices. Numerical simulation results validate our theoretical model, and prove the efficient of the proposed user-slice association solution to enhance the global network performance, respecting the UEs quality of service (QoS), as well as improving the energy efficiency (EE) of UEs. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},
