Realistic Per-category Pricing Schemes for LTE Users
In: 12th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt 2014), edited by IEEE, Hammamet, Tunisia, pages 429 – 435.
As demand on data access and bandwidth explodes, service
providers across cellular network infrastructures are
struggling to find effective ways to manage the data
traffic on their network, and meet customer expectations
without eroding profitability, or attracting regulatory
attention. Pricing schemes are designed to offer profitable
business to the operators as well as to create favorable
services for the mobile subscribers. In this paper, we
analyze three well-known pricing schemes proposed for Long
Term Evolution (LTE) mobile networks. We then propose a
realistic per-category pricing (R2P) scheme for LTE. Our
pricing scheme takes into account QoS parameters, physical
resources blocs utilization, user valuation, and user price
categories: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Finally, we show,
through extensive simulation results that our proposed
pricing scheme provides the higher revenue for the
operator
