MNOs are the primary licensed vendors and depend on virtual network operators (VNOs) to meet the demands of end users. Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) [1] lease the radio spectrum from MNOs and extend the infrastructure from MNOs and third-party service providers to potential mobile end user nodes (MEUNs). MVNOs are not assigned the licensed spectrum by regulating bodies and hence operate using the unlicensed radio spectrum for short-distance communication. MVNO’s leased radio spectrum is based on service agreements (wholesale and retail) with MNOs and the density of MEUNs.
