Virtualization refers to creating a set of logical architectures using a given set of physical entities, but in a way that is transparent to the user. Virtualization of wireless networks involves both infrastructure sharing and spectrum sharing. In addition, there are many different topologies for wireless networks (infrastructure and ad hoc and within ad hoc, single and multi-hop), different spectrum bands from several hundreds of MHz to several GHz, unlicensed versus licensed spectrum bands, different geographic coverage (wide, metro, local and personal area) and finally different mobility requirements. Know network virtualization, learn the limitations of virtualization, and learn the components. The provision of virtualization in wireless networks is a promising concept that has the potential to alleviate spectrum congestion and open up new services. In this paper, we have discussed three paradigms for virtualizing wireless networks: (1) universal, (2) cross-infrastructure, and (3) limited intra-infrastructure. Paradigms differ in the degree of virtualization and infrastructure sharing. Network virtualization, regardless of whether it is a wired or wireless environment, can be thought of as partitioning the entire system. The network can be thought of as composed of Infrastructure Providers or InPs who build and manage only the infrastructure (eg base stations, MMEs, S-Gateways, APs, spectrum, etc.) and Service Providers or SPs who actually provide various services to subscribers.
