Mobile Network Threat Analysis and MNO Positioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dramatic increase of smart mobile devices and applications, the advent of Android OS, the increased number of wireless radios (incl. NFC) the support and the low awareness about security and privacy risks on the one hand, and the flatter, IP-based network architecture, the introduction of new radio technologies (femtocells, WiFi, LTE) and applications (M2M, NFC) on the other, have changed the mobile threats landscape and will change the way security will be dealt in the coming years. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have started to investigate the possibility to introduce additional measures to secure their networks, providing thus a defense before security threats materialize.

3D Path Planning Algorithm for Mobile Anchor-Assisted Positioning in Wireless Sensor Networks
Positioning service is one of Wireless Sensor Networks’ (WSNs) fundamental services. The accurate position of the sensor nodes plays a vital role in many applications of WSNs. In this paper, a 3D positioning algorithm is being proposed, using mobile anchor node to assist sensor nodes in order to estimate their positions in a 3D geospatial environment. However, mobile anchor node’s 3D path optim...
متن کاملCustomer Experience with Mobile Number Portability Implementation in Ghana
This paper examines the implementation of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in Ghana and presents the experiences of subscribers with the implemented MNP policy. According to a cost-benefit analysis of the portability process, it is evident that the over 19 Million Mobile subscribers satisfy the minimum market size below which overall benefits cannot be felt. From the study, we argue that, even t...
متن کاملA Pricing Model and Sensitivity Analysis for MVNO Investment Decision Making in 3G UMTS Networks
In this article we propose a pricing model for MNO and MVNO’s investment in 3G UMTS networks. We also investigate and conceptualize the relationship among MNO, MVNO, and other related variables in the proposed pricing model. Next, we develop the influence diagrams representing MNO and MVNO and use them to explore the relationship of total costs, total revenues, and net profit. This diagram is u...
متن کاملInfrastructure Sharing for Mobile Network Operators: Analysis of Trade-offs and Market
The conflicting problems of growing mobile service demand and underutilization of dedicated spectrum has given rise to a paradigm where mobile network operators (MNOs) share their infrastructure among themselves in order to lower their operational costs, while at the same time increase the usage of their existing network resources. We model and analyze such an infrastructure sharing system cons...
متن کاملThe Interplay of Competition and Cooperation Among Service Providers
We consider the economics of the interaction between Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). We investigate the incentives of an MNO for offering some of her resources to an MVNO instead of using the resources for her own End-Users (EUs). We consider a market with one MNO and one MVNO, and a continuum of undecided EUs. Two cases for EUs are considered: (i) ...
