Goals of Wireless Pricing schemes • Assure continuous quality of service. • Maximize profits for service providers
Quality of service challenges • Tracking the location of subscribers. • Ensure continuous connectivity when moving between networks. • Avoid service termination due to the lack of bandwidth
Pricing Schemes Static Schemes Dynamic Schemes Subscribers are charged a pre-defined amount for their service. Service priorities can be modified according to the subscriber’s network demands.
Static Priority Pricing • Bandwidth is shared among all subscribers. • Subscribers are allowed to select their priority class.
Dynamic Priority pricing • Priority classes can be modified during the service usage. • Network resources are optimized by guaranteed bandwidth.
Other notable pricing schemes Cumulus Pricing (Static) Probabilistic Pricing (Dynamic) • Subscribers pay a flat rate based on their expected resource requirements. • If that limit is exceeded, the contract is re-negotiated. • Future demand for a service is predicted using historical data. • The service provider sets the prices according to demand.
