Abstract:
We propose a
new architecture to enable wireless networks to meet th
e
challenges of ever
-
increasing demand for high data rate services and ubiquitous
connectivity, heterogeneity of access technologies, and spectrum scarcity.
This
architecture, which we call
Networks without Borders, envisions a pool of resources
(spectrum,
infrastructure,
network management, authentication, subscriber tracking
services, etc.) from which a virtual wireless network can be
orchestrated
and
instantiated. Flexibility and technology neutrality are key goals of this architecture,
mirroring the Int
ernet, where user services are independent of the underlying
network control mechanisms or infrastructure.
We outline some of the major trends
in networking research and commercial deployments that provide a
n evolutionary
path towards Networks without Bord
ers.
These trends include
virtualization, reliance
on small cells, dynamic spectrum sharing, crowdsourcing of wireless access, and
inter
-
mobile operator resource sharing
