Pricing Method for Contents Delivery with Priority Considering Request Rate

چکیده
For contents delivery systems such as video-ondemand service, an optimum design is presented to maximize the utility of the system with priority classes. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) is introduced for a measure of utility, and the optimum design is discussed to maximize the utility (revenue). For the system with two priority classes, the optimum condition is given in terms of the traffic load, the number of users, waiting time for service, and pricing for the high and low priority classes. Regarding the WTP as the price for service, and considering the request rate, we examine the optimum design to propose the optimum pricing methods. From the numerical examples, the optimum condition for the service grade (waiting time for service), and pricing for high and low priority classes are discussed.
