  • Publication number: 20120026961
    Abstract: An arrangement for enabling network operators (typically mobile network operators) to dynamically trade capacity on their systems is described, thereby enabling such operators to fill their network capacity with traffic from other providers and also enabling service providers that have either insufficient or no network infrastructure to lease capacity from network operators. Network capacity is allocated between operators on the basis of both desired capacity and predetermined resources allocation rules.
