Data cost optimization for wireless data transmission service providers in virtualized wireless networks

Cellular communication has played an important role in current data transmission networks. Nevertheless, the price of cellular communication service is much higher than wired communication service. Thus each data transmission service provider has to make optimal decisions on cellular data plan to reduce the cost. This work put forward an optimal data cost scheme for the data transmission service in virtualized wireless networks. A formal cost model is put forward and the optimal algorithms have been used to approach the optimal solution. The simulation results show the efficiency and feasibility of proposed optimal algorithms.
