In network virtualization, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) lease spectrum
resources from mobile network operators (MNOs) and offer certain wireless services to end …

Wireless network virtualization has emerged as a promising technology to provide
multifarious services and applications for future wireless networks due to its efficient …

This paper presents the first analytical study of optimal investment and pricing decisions of a
cognitive mobile virtual network operator (C-MVNO) under spectrum supply uncertainty …

In this paper, we investigate the optimal spectrum procurement and pricing from the
perspective of a cognitive mobile virtual network operator (C-MVNO), which is a second …

Radio spectrum allocation is essential to the provision of mobile communication services.
The spectrum is a finite resource and can accomodate a limited number of simultaneous …

This paper investigates the incentives of mobile network operators (MNOs) for acquiring
additional spectrum to offer mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and thereby inviting …

It is expected that in future user-centric wireless network scenario the concept of dynamic
spectrum trade will provide operators with opportunities to utilize the spectrum more …

In order to fully utilize the scarce wireless spectrum resources, many dynamic spectrum
access approaches have emerged to enhance the spectrum efficiency in the spectrum …

We propose a new framework for wireless network virtualization. In this framework, service
providers (SPs) and the network operator (NO) are decoupled from each other: The NO is …

This paper studies the optimal investment and pricing decisions of a cognitive mobile virtual
network operator (C-MVNO) under spectrum supply uncertainty. Compared with a traditional …
