In the two-sided market for online streaming content, platform’s co-opetitive strategy has been wildly discussed, where platforms cooperate in sharing broadcasting right of content and meanwhile compete both subscribers advertisers. Although platform co-opetition practice can be easily captured, impacts cross-side network effects on pricing are contingent upon participation decision sides, incl...

The current wireless communication system in Iraq faces several challenges during users’ handoff, especially with the fast growth of users and demands. This is also a global issue; therefore, quality service (QoS) measures have rapidly become more important developed over years. complexity between diverse applications underlying QoS architectures leads to these deployment problems, which decrea...

The multi-homing technology can provide an extended coverage area via distinct access technologies. Also, it is able to redirect a flow from one interface to another without reinitiating the flow. However, there is no suitable multi-homing technology for ubiquitous network environment at the moment. To provide multi-homing schemes into the ubiquitous environment, various related researches shou...

This paper develops a duopoly model for user-generated content (UGC) platforms, which compete consumers and producers in two-sided markets characterized by network externalities. Each platform has the option to invest quality assurance (CQA) system determine level of advertising. Our reveals that effects are pivotal shaping platforms’ optimal strategies user behavior, specifically terms single ...

Amongst the activities of the European Commission IST research project MIND [1] is extensive consideration of the multi-homing issues in IP access networks. Analysis of the various multi-homing scenarios reveals diverse aspects of multi-homing relevant to both the operations of the access network as well as the hosts connected to it. The originality of the work presented in this paper is arisin...

Mobilität und Multi-Homing sind eng verwandte Probleme, die auf das semantisch überladene Adressierungsschema des Internet Protokolls (IP) zurückzuführen sind. Die Auftrennung der im IP-Adressierungsschema eingebetteten Funktionalitäten und deren Integration in separate Adressteile ist vielversprechend, um Mobilität und Multi-homing zu unterstützen. In dieser Arbeit wird das Node-oriented Inter...

This paper proposes a fountain-code-based multi-path transport protocol, called heterogeneous multi-path transport protocol (HMTP), and evaluates its performance. HMTP improves the throughput performance and path utilization of multi-homing wireless erasure networks. It solves the receive buffer blocking problem and eliminates the need for retransmissions and in-order packet delivery, both of w...

Multi-homing, a strategy where a developer is publishing products for multiple platforms, is studied in this paper using descriptive analysis. The data of over 850,000 applications and their developers were collected from Apple App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft’s Windows Phone Marketplace. The developers publishing for several software ecosystems were then identified. The findings show that...

We study price discrimination strategy of an Incumbent platform that faces competition from Entrant. introduce heterogeneous agents on the consumer side, where buyers assign different values to interaction benefits generated a platform. analyse dominant firm equilibrium, incumbent offers two versions its service consumers. The results are compared across scenarios. first is when sellers allowed...

A large share of the ads displayed by digital publishers (e.g., newspapers and blogs) are sold via intermediaries Google), that have market power reportedly allocate in an opaque way. We study incentives intermediary to disclose consumer information advertisers when auctioning ad impressions. show disclosing enables optimize allocation on multi-homing consumers is profitable only if advertising...
