  4. Abstract:
  5. In wireless network virtualization, by separating services and infrastructure, and due to new network components, some new challenges appear. In this paper, we consider the competition among multiple mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) for provisioning the required rates for users subscribed to a service provider (SP). To realize this competition, we consider an SP as a beneficiary decision maker component, who can choose which users to be serviced by each MVNO. Since the states between each user and different channels of each MVNO are distinct, MVNOs compete to serve the users with good channel conditions to minimize their costs. Using a multiple non-identical object procurement (reverse) auction, we propose a new resource provisioning for SP's subscribers. Our simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed approach. © 2018 IEEE
