    Radio access network (RAN) sharing attracts much attention from telecom operators. However, current mechanisms applied to RAN sharing do not consider fairness among operators such that the RAN is not fairly shared, and either under-or over-utilized. Fairness cannot be guaranteed among operators because resources are distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis. "Soft-partition with Blocking and Dropping" (SBD)" is proposed to offer inter-operator fairness based on a "soft-partition" concept. Subscribers to an operator may overuse the predefined service-level-agreement (SLA) when the shared RAN is under-utilized, but become blocked or even dropped when over-utilized. According to our simulation results, SBD maintains inter-operator fairness at 0.997, even better than hard-partition at 0.98 and much better than no-partition at 0.6. Meanwhile, it retains high utilization of shared RAN at 98%. SBD reduces blocking rate from 35% of hard partition to almost 0%, while controlling dropping rate at 5%.

    Multi-Operator Fairness in Transparent RAN Sharing by Soft-Partition With Blocking and Dropping Mechanism

    Radio access network (RAN) sharing has attracted significant attention from telecom operators as a means of accommodating data surges. However, current mechanisms for RAN sharing ignore the fairness issue among operators, and hence the RAN may be under- or over-utilized. Furthermore, the fairness among different operators cannot be guaranteed, since the RAN resources are distributed on a first come, first served basis. Accordingly, the present study proposes a "soft-partition with blocking and dropping" (SBD) mechanism that offers inter-operator fairness using a "soft-partition" approach. In particular, the operator subscribers are permitted to overuse the resources specified in the predefined service-level-agreement when the shared RAN is under-utilized, but are blocked (or even dropped) when the RAN is over-utilized. The simulation results show that SBD achieves an inter-operator fairness of 0.997, which is higher than that of both a hard-partition approach (0.98) and a no-partition approach (0.6) while maintaining a shared RAN utilization rate of 98%. Furthermore, SBD reduces the blocking rate from 35% (hard partition approach) to almost 0%, whereas controlling the dropping rate at 5%. Notably, the dropping rate can be reduced to almost 0% using a newly proposed bandwidth scale down procedure.
