Abstract
Network virtualization (NV) has attracted more and more attentions from research communities. Introduction of virtualization technology to cellular networks is a promising solution for higher resource utilization, improved system performance, and lower investment capitals for mobile operators. In this letter, the work is focused on allocating wireless resources among multiple virtual mobile operators (VMOs). A bankruptcy game based dynamic wireless resource allocation approach among multiple VMOs is proposed and investigated. The satisfaction of payoffs (i.e., resources) each VMO is paid is evaluated with expectation index (EI). Particularly, the Long Term Evolution (LTE) is chosen as the case study to evaluate the proposed approach.Keywords
