Abstract

The growing popularity of wireless network has prompted the service providers to look for appropriate ways to meet the demand while recovering the invested capital. This calls for a good revenue model, where pricing of services plays an important role. This paper investigates the performance of smart market based pricing models for wireless network services. Conventionally, these models have been successfully applied in various other service fields including wired networks. In particular, we apply the French auction and Dutch auction models and compare their performances in comparison with the flat-pricing scheme, which is quite popular in the wireless domain. Simulation results on the performance the proposed schemes, with respect to the total revenue generated and the call blocking probability, show encouraging results. © 2006 IEEE.
