Price-bandwidth dynamics for WSPs in heterogeneous wireless networks

چکیده
This paper presents a comprehensive approach to spectrum pricing and bandwidthmanagement for wireless service providers (WSPs) in heterogeneous wireless networks. Most approaches to spectrum management focus on revenue maximization for the WSPs. However, the key issue of the competitive edge held by a WSP over the others (i.e., its market share) is hardly addressed. The market shares of the WSPs depend on the prices they advertise and the bandwidths they provide. We develop a three phase game between WSPs. The first phase called the WSP-WSP price game enables WSPs determine the optimal price they must advertise. In the second phase, called the WSPWSP bandwidth game, the WSPs use the Nash equilibrium of the WSP-WSP price game, to determine the optimal bandwidths they should advertise in order to maximize their market share. Finally, in the third phase, we develop a WSP-WSP trading game model the fact that users that start off with a WSP can not only demand bandwidth from that WSP, but also demand bandwidth from other WSPs in order to make best use of the available bandwidth at all the WSPs.

The Role of Regulatory in Price Control and Spectrum Allocation to Competing Wireless Access Networks
With the rapid growth of wireless access networks, various providers offer their services using different technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wimax, 3G, 4G and so on. These networks compete for the scarce wireless spectrum. The spectrum is considered to be a scarce resource moderated by the spectrum allocation regulatory (“regulatory” for short) which is the governance body aiming to maximize the socia...
متن کاملImproving Bandwidth-power Efficiency of Homogeneous Wireless Networks Using On-meet Threshold Strategy (RESEARCH NOTE)
Over two decades, a problem of location dependent has been focused for improving the communication Bandwidth-Power Efficiency of homogeneous networks. The efficiencies of communication links are weakened by the Hidden Terminal Problem. Thus we propose a Fine – Tune Strategy for analyzing the On-Off communication region. We were observed that the proposed technique had been able to track and mo...

The wireless communication with delivering variety of services to users is growing rapidly in recent years. The third generation of cellular networks (3G), and local wireless networks (WLAN) are the two widely used technologies in wireless networks. 3G networks have the capability of covering a vast area; while, WLAN networks provide higher transmission rates with less coverage. Since the two n...
متن کاملDynamic pricing for service provisioning and network selection in heterogeneous networks
In this paper, we model a market-based cognitive radio network where multiple wireless service providers (WSPs) offer competitive prices to users. We assume that WSPs use a mix of access technologies to provide a wide variety of wireless services (e.g., voice, data etc.) with a certain level of QoS while maximizing their revenues. Using a non-cooperative game model, we propose differentiated pr...
متن کاملJointly power and bandwidth allocation for a heterogeneous satellite network
Due to lack of resources such as transmission power and bandwidth in satellite systems, resource allocation problem is a very important challenge. Nowadays, new heterogeneous network includes one or more satellites besides terrestrial infrastructure, so that it is considered that each satellite has multi-beam to increase capacity. This type of structure is suitable for a new generation of commu...
