Abstract
Network virtualization is an emerging and trending subject and it is currently defining research ideas in areas such as the future internet and wireless communication systems. The notion of combining the concept of network virtualization together with network federation which basically involves the interconnection of independent network domains, possess the potential to provide a far more enriching environment where network resources like spectrum will be better harnessed and utilized. This paper focuses on spectrum virtualization implemented on the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) network where virtualized WiMAX networks exist in a federated arrangement for the purpose of sharing spectrum resources. A novel entity known as the VS-Hypervisor, which is responsible for virtualizing the WiMAX spectrum is fully described theoretically and metrics such as time delay, request rejection probability was used in expressing its basic behaviour.
