Evaluation Of Dynamic Pricing In Mobile Communication Systems

چکیده
The rapid growth in demand for cellular telephony coupled to the limited bandwidth allocated to the air interface, has encouraged researchers to find technological solutions to increase the number of usable channels. The various techniques developed invariably involve installation of new infrastructure. While such strategies enable the networks to meet peak-hour demand, they inevitably leave the network resources idle in off-peak hours. In this context dynamic pricing (the variation of price according to system utilisation) could potentially offer a soft edge scheme for achieving a more efficient use of available resources. This article presents predicted (GSM) network behaviour under a dynamic pricing regime. Simulation results indicate a strong correlation between the shape of the price function, the number of blocked calls in the system and the expected revenue. These suggest that dynamic pricing could be used very effectively to regulate demand whilst offering a sensible means for revenue optimisation.

With the rapid growth of smart device and Internet of things applications, the volume of communication and data in networks have increased. Due to the network lag and massive demands, centralized and traditional cloud computing architecture are not accountable to the high users' demands and not proper for execution of delay-sensitive and real time applications. To resolve these challenges, we p...

One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...

Computation offloading is known to be among the effective solutions of running heavy applications on smart mobile devices. However, irregular changes of a mobile data rate have direct impacts on code partitioning when offloading is in progress. It is believed that once a rate-adaptive partitioning performed, the replication of such substantial processes due to bandwidth fluctuation can be avoid...

In this paper, three dynamic pricing models are developed and analyzed. We assume a limited number of a particular asset is offered for sale over a period of time. This asset is perishable and can be an inventory or a manufacturing capacity. During each period, the seller sets a price for this asset. This price is selected from a predetermined discrete set. The maximum amount which a customer i...
