On sharing resources performance analysis in 3GPP-LTE systems framework

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) revenues in radio platform technology standard Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems are not increasing at the same rate as traffic volume. In order to accommodate the rapid expansion of mobile data usage, more additional network capacities must be deployed. Recently, network sharing has been proposed as an integral part of the next-generation networking architecture for vehicular communications, and is considered to be a promising solution to provide low-cost framework, and accommodate increased traffic demands. The proposed framework to follow pertains to the Mobile Network resources sharing scenario, wherein MNOs achieving a different schedulers´ policy are sharing evolved Node B (eNB), allowing MNOs to customize their efforts and provide service requirements according to the sharing agreement delineated within the entire LTE system. The average jitter and delays have been evaluated to verify the framework performance effectiveness in the case of non-sharing and sharing scenarios.
