An Analysis of Requirements, Opportunities, and Challenges of Wireless Network Virtualization

Abstract

Wireless network virtualization (WNV) has piqued interest of academic and industrial researchers as one of most important technology in cellular network communication. With de coupling networks function of co-occurring virtual network, it is regarded as a pioneer in achieving efficient resource use with reduced operational and capital costs. It allows for the rapid arrangement of novel service & technology. The WNV model is still in its initial phases, therefore here is plenty of opportunity with new architectures, systems, and applications to be developed by the research community. The accessibility of softwaredefined networking (SDN) & cloud/centralized radio access network (C-RAN) raises the possibility of WNV becoming a reality. The article examines WNV, as well as current advances in SDN and C-RAN technology. We recognise needs & possibilities of upcoming cellular system depending on these technology and WNV ideas. Then, based on SDN, we suggest a generic architectural framework for the WNV. There will also be a detailed discussion of the difficulties & investigation concerns, alongwith potential methods for upcoming network communication enhancements. Finally, we provide a number of potential possibilities for upcoming network service for both domestic & commercial users.
