본 논문에서는 국내 가상이동망 사업자(MVNO : Mobile Virtual Network Operator) 제도 도입에 대한 논의를 위해 MVNO의 개념, 국내외 사업자 현황, 규제 동향 및 제도 도입의 효과를 분석한다. 아울러 AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process, 계층적 분석) 기법을 이용하여 정부의 정책개입에 따른 MVNO 사업자의 효율적인 비즈니스 모델을 도출한다. 이를 위하여 사업자의 주요평가기준으로 경쟁활성화, 투자요인증대 및 경제성을 선정하였으며 자율협상, 부분규제 및 전면 규제의 세 가지 대안을 상정하고 각각의 평가기준별 점수를 비교, 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 기지국 채널 자원을 MNO(Mobile Network Operator)와 MVNO(Mobile Virtual Network Operator)가 공유할 경우 사업자들에게 채널 자원을 공정하고 효율적으로 할당하기 위한 게임 이론적 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델은 협상(Bargaining) 게임 이론을 이용하며 MNO와 MVNO의 입력 부하를 고려하여 이들 사이의 기지국 채널 자원을 할당한다. 제안 기법은 사업자별 입력 부하가 비대칭적인 경우 입력 부하가 낮은 사업자보다 입력 부하가 높은 사업자에게 보다 많은 양의 채널을 할당하여 기지국의 채널 이용율을 증가시키며 또한 한 사업자의 과도한 입력 부하로 인해 타 사업자의 서비스 품질이 저하되는 것을 방지한다.

This paper proposes a common platform for an internet-based mobile robot and its operator terminal. The common platform can reduce the cost and time to develop an internet-based robot and its operator terminal. The robot performs the role of a server and its terminal a client. One operator can use this terminal to make a command and this command can be sent to the robot through a wireless network. According to given commands, the robot moves a point and sends an image by using a camera or desired information by using other sensors. The information sent from the robot can help an operator to control the robot. The mobile robot consists of two modules, main module and motion module. Main module can exchange information with the operator terminal, process information, and send a command to motion module. Each application program for one internet-based mobile robot and its operator terminal will be developed to show that the same platform can be used for them. Also, it will be shown that the robot can be controlled easily by using its operator terminal.

Many telecommunication operators around the world have multiple networks. The networks run by each operator are always of different generations, such as 2G and 3G or even 4G systems. Each system has unique characters and specified requirements for optimal operation. It brings about resource allocation problem among these networks for the operator, because the budget of each operator is limited. However, the evaluation of resource allocation among various networks under each operator is missing for long, not to mention resource allocation optimization. The operators are dying for an algorithm to end their blind resource allocation, and the Resource Allocation Optimization Algorithm for Multi-network Operator (RAOAMO) proposed in this paper is what the operators want. RAOAMO evaluates and optimizes resource allocation in the view of overall cost for each operator. It outputs a resource distribution target and corresponding optimization suggestion. Evaluation results show that RAOAMO helps operator save overall cost in various cases.

The introduction of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) system is expected to increase consumer benefits, boost competition in the mobile market, utilize idle bandwidth, and expedite mobile-fixed line convergence and growth in the mobile Internet market. This research endeavors to study the optimal access charge for an MVNO system, which is expected to be introduced to the Korean mobile communications market. We found that the optimal access charge is higher in the interdependent model than in the independent model if demand for mobile phone service is based on a substitution relationship. We also found that the optimal access charge is higher than the marginal cost.

The Korean mobile service market has persistently grown with the number of subscribers and volume of mobile traffic. It shows the slow diffusion of 5G subscribers, and rapid growth of both the MVNO(Mobile Virtual Network Operator) market and unlocked mobile phones. Therefore, this study derives the direction of telcos' strategies and policy implications by empirically analyzing the usage and attitude of LTE and 5G subscribers. Our major findings are as follows: First, our current mobile service subscription market constitutes most long-term customers for their incumbent carriers only by device change from lock-in with bundle services. Mobile tariffs, data speed, and benefits of bundle services are important factors affecting choices and customers' satisfaction with a provider and intentions of churning to another. Second, demand and satisfaction for using 5G are less because speeds and service tariffs act as pain points for 5G services. Third, the users' high preferences for MVNOs and unlocked mobile phones are linked to their subscription to MVNOs' low-cost plans with unlocked mobile phones on online channels. These streams lead to a big change in the market competition that MNO(Mobile Network Operator)s' market shares are expected to decrease and MVNOs' shares will be increased by two times, in the near future. Therefore, MNOs need to change their distribution strategies from offline to online channels and try to resolve the stereotype, "mobile tariffs are expensive," by enhancing their service values. Finally, as consumers prefer one-stop service in the same channel regardless of the distribution channel, policies should focus on the consumers' needs for convenience rather than on the channel separation for perfectly unlocked mobile phones.

Network and network functions virtualization (NFV) promise a number of attractive benefits and thus have driven mobile network operators to transform their previously static networks to more dynamic and software-defined networks. In this article, we share a mobile network operator's view based on implementation and deployment experiences in the wild during the past few years towards a software-defined 5G core network. More specifically, we present a practical point of view from mobile network operators and elaborate on why some of the virtualization benefits such as total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction are not easily realized as initially intended. Then, we describe 5G visions, services, and their requirements commonly agreed across mobile operators globally. Given the requirements, we then introduce desirable characteristics of 5G mobile core network and its key enabling technologies.

The increase in data traffic calls for investment in mobile networks; however, the saturating revenue of mobile broadband and increasing capital expenditure are discouraging mobile operators from investing in next-generation mobile networks. Mobile network sharing is a viable solution for operators and regulators to resolve this dilemma. This research uses a difference-in-differences analysis of 33 operators (including 11 control operators) to empirically evaluate the cost reduction effect of mobile network sharing. The results indicate a reduction in overall operating expenditure and short-term capital expenditure by national roaming. This finding implies that future technology and standards development should focus on flexible network operation and maintenance, energy efficiency, and maximizing economies of scale in radio access networks. Furthermore, mobile network sharing will become more viable and relevant in a 5G network deployment as spectrum bands are likely to increase the total cost of ownership of mobile networks and technical enablers will facilitate network sharing.

최근 국내에서도 이동망 경쟁활성화를 위한 방안으로서 MVNO 규제제도를 도입해야 한다는 논의가 진행되고 있다. 이미 주요 선진국들은 이동통신망의 경쟁활성화, 유무선 통합의 추진, 이동통신네트워크 여유 용량 해소, 모바일 인터넷의 활성화를 위해 다소 입장의 차이는 있지만 MVNO 규제제도를 일반적으로 도입하는 추세이다. 지난 2002년 10월 1일, 영국의 유선사업자인 BT가 자회사인 MMO2를 MNO로 하여 MVNO 시장에 진입하여 이동통신 이용자들을 대상으로 서비스를 개시하였다. 국내에서도 MVNO 제도가 도입될 경우 BT와 같은 유선사업자들도 시장이 진입할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 고에서는 유선사업자의 MVNO 진입현황과 이동통신시장에 진입할 수 있는 규제 방안을 제시하고 있다.
