Method And Apparatus Of Virtualized Resource Sharing In Cellular Networks

摘要

According to a disclosed method in a base station having one or more physical sectors, instructions received from a core network cellular network operators that are parties to a sharing agreement and specify an amount of radio resources that are to be temporarily shared under the sharing agreement. In the sharing state, the physical sector instantiates at least two concurrently running protocol stacks dedicated to respective cellular network operators that are parties to the sharing agreement, thus defining virtualized sectors.
