Multi-Operator Connectivity Sharing for Reliable Networks: A Data-Driven Risk Analysis

A key distinction between today’s and future networks is the appetite for reliable communication to support emerging critical-communication services. In this paper, we study multi-operator connectivity as a form of redundancy design investigate its trade-offs. This approach motivated by 3GPP standardisation initiatives dual-connectivity similar techniques in industrial wired networks. We deploy risk awareness performance metric assess reliability: superquantile accounts periods shortfalls. Our analysis shows that brings significant reliability gains, particular when network deployments different operators exhibit high complementarity coverage. also explore effects multi-connectivity on spectral efficiency times demand bandwidth. based real-world dataset comprising signal strength indicators three mobile Dublin, Ireland.
