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…
Energy-Based Cell Association in Nonuniform Renewable Energy-Powered Cellular Networks: Analysis and Optimization of Carbon Efficiency
Yuxi Zhao, Vicente Casares-Giner, Vicent Pla +4
The increasing global push for carbon reduction highlights the importance of integrating renewable energy into the supply chain of cellular networks. However, due to the stochastic…
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)…
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…
