Online Scheduling for Resource Allocation of Differentiated Services: Optimal Settings and Sensitivity Analysis

In this paper we investigate in detail the properties of a dynamic resource allocation scheme that utilizes online measurements to optimally adjust scheduling weights and to achieve the required QoS, under a given pricing structure. Extending our previous work, we consider here an additional important QoS parameter, namely, the average queueing delay, in order to provision favorable QoS guarant...

Distributed Dynamic Capacity Contracting: An overlay congestion pricing framework for differentiated-services architecture

Several congestion pricing proposals have been made in the last decade. Usually, however, those proposals studied optimal strategies and did not focus on implementation issues. Our main contribution in this paper is to address implementation issues for congestion-sensitive pricing over a single domain of the differentiated-services (diff-serv) architecture of the Internet. We propose a new cong...

A Differentiated Pricing Framework for Improving the Performance of the Elastic Traffics in Data Networks

Rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. Most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is TCP. This is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. Moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by TCP affect other sessions...

Pricing Differentiated Services Networks: Bursty Traffic

We study the role of pricing in Differentiated Services (DiffServ) networks. We model DiffServ as a priority service, where users are given the freedom to choose the priorities of their traffic, but are charged accordingly. Using a game theoretic framework, we study the case where users choose an allocation of priorities to packets in order to optimize their net benefit. For the case where user...

Pricing-Enabled QoS for UMTS/WLAN Network

In this paper we propose a pricing-enabled QoS for the hybrid UMTS/WLAN network. The proposed methodology is an integration of usage-based, non usage-based, static, and dynamic pricing schemes and DiffServ (Differentiated Services). We propose the utility function and cost function for our needs, and the pricing mechanism is based on differentiated service classes. By the affection of price, a ...

Optimal Provisioning and Pricing of Differentiated Services Using QoS Class Promotion

This paper introduces a new method for optimally provisioning and pricing differentiated services, that maximizes profit and maintains a small blocking probability. Resources are provisioned per Quality of Service (QoS) class over the long-term (service level agreement duration), then priced based on user demand over the short-term. Unique to this method is the ability to dynamically promote tr...
