Measurement-Based Usage Charges in Comminucations Networks
We study usage-sensitive charging schemes for broadband communications networks. We argue that a connection's `eeective bandwidth' is a good proxy for the quantity of network resource that the connection consumes and can be the basis for a usage charge. However, the determination of eeective bandwidth can be problematic, since it involves the moment generating function of the cell arrival proce...
متن کاملTelecommunication SystemsA study of simple usage - based charging schemes forbroadband networks
Operators of multi-service networks require simple charging schemes with which they can fairly recover costs from their users and eeectively allocate network resources. This paper studies an approach for computing such charges from simple measurements (time and volume), and relating these to bounds of the eeective bandwidth. To achieve economic eeciency, it is necessary that usage-based chargin...

متن کاملCharging Issues for Services in Broadband Networks
Charging and accounting in modern high-speed networks are extremely vital for their successful operation and growth. Tariffs and pricing schemes are needed for the network to recover its costs in a fair way from the diverse population of users, and to effectively allocate network resources. Economists have developed simple models for pricing network services, while neglecting important constrai...
متن کاملAn Overview of Group Key Management Issues in IEEE 802.16e Networks
The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...
