Virtualization of network resources (e.g., infrastructure and spectrum) brings several advantages. One key advantage is that various network operators can robustly share their virtualized network resources to extend coverage, increase capacity, and reduce costs. However, inherent features of wireless communications, e.g., the uncertainty in user equipment locations and channel conditions, impose significant challenges on virtualization and sharing of the network resources. In this context, we propose a novel three-layered virtualization framework, based on a matching game model and stochastic resource allocation. Our proposed architecture aims at guaranteeing user satisfaction and maximizing the revenue for operators, with reasonable computational complexity, and affordable network overhead.Pages 489-49911 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnologyComputer Science, Information SystemsEngineering, Electrical & ElectronicOperations Research & Management ScienceTelecommunicationsComputer ScienceEngineeringDynamic slicingmatching marketsPoisson point process (PPP)stochastic resource allocationwireless network virtualization0906 Electrical and Electronic EngineeringOperations ResearchArticle - Refereed2022-01-04https://doi.org/10.1109/JSYST.2019.29274431411937-9234
