Entry deterrence by exploiting economies of scope in data aggregation
Luis Guijarro, José-Ramón Vidal, Vicent Pla
We model a market for data where an incumbent and a challenger compete for data from a producer. The incumbent has access to an exclusive data producer, and it uses this exclusive…
Economic feasibility of virtual operators in 5G via network slicing
Erwin J. Sacoto-Cabrera, Luis Guijarro, Jose R. Vidal +1
The provision of services by more than one operator over a common network infrastructure, as enabled by 5G network slicing, is analyzed. Two business models to be implemented by a…
Competition between service providers with strategic resource allocation: application to network slicing
Luis Guijarro, Jose R. Vidal, Vicent Pla
We propose and analyze a business model for 5G operators. Each operator is entitled to a share of a network operated by an Infrastructure Provider (InP) and use network slicing mec…
A user subscription model in mobile radio access networks with network slicing
José-Ramón Vidal, Luis Guijarro, Vicent Pla
Network slicing is an architectural enabling technology that logically decouples the current cellular networks into infrastructure providers (InPs) and Network Slice Tenants (NSTs)…
Semi-Contention-Free Access in IoT NOMA Networks: A Reinforcement Learning Framework
Abhishek Kumar, José-Ramón Vidal, Jorge Martinez-Bauset +1
The unprecedented surge of massive Internet of things (mIoT) traffic in beyond fifth generation (B5G) communication systems calls for transformative approaches for multiple access…
Policy Gradient Algorithms for Age-of-Information Cost Minimization
José-Ramón Vidal, Vicent Pla, Luis Guijarro +1
Recent developments in cyber-physical systems have increased the importance of maximizing the freshness of the information about the physical environment. However, optimizing the a…
