There have been recent advancements in wireless network technologies
such as wireless virtualization to accommodate the exponential growth in
demand, as well as to increase energy and infrastructure efficiencies.
This SpringerBrief discusses the user-association and
resource-allocation aspects in Virtualized Wireless Networks (VWNs) and
highlights key technology innovations to meet their requirements.
Various issues in practical implementation of VWNs are discussed along
with potential techniques such as Massive MIMO, Cloud-Radio Access
Network (C-RAN), and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA).
This SpringerBrief will target researchers and professionals working on
current and next-generation wireless networks. The content is also
valuable for advanced-level students interested in wireless
communications and signal processing for communications.
