I got this question in unit test.

Asked question is from The xG Network Architecture in section Next Generation Wireless Network of Cognitive Radio

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) MVNO might operate with mobile virtual network enabler

Easy explanation: Mobile Virtual Network Operator does not own wireless network infrastructure. It purchases network services from a mobile network operator. In this method, the primary network provides opportunistic access to licensed spectrum. This is an example of leased network implementation in xG architecture.
