| Abstract | Spectrum is the scarce and limiting resource for all wide-area wireless communication activities. As user loads on this limited resource continue to grow rapidly, it is necessary for "providers" to have effective tools, frameworks, and functionalities to manage allocation of this resource to users. In this paper, we introduce a policy framework, called Virtuoso, that manages heterogeneous spectrum resources for large collections of users aggregated over multiple operators. The goal of Virtuoso is to enable providers to flexibly manage their spectrum resources while ensuring that users have suitable access for their communication needs. Instead of describing the problem in the abstract form, we draw all requirements of this system from our multi-year effort of designing, implementing, deploying, and operating an Internet service for multiple public transit systems that operate in the state of Wisconsin, USA, and in some neighboring states of the upper Midwest. In Virtuoso we propose a simple syntax through which users and administrators can express their network control preferences. We believe that centralized control of network resources, as defined in Virtuoso, will simplify the management of connectivity for large mobile populations, of which vehicular fleets are just one example. |
