“…On the other hand, by summarizing the dynamic pricing schemes, considered in this paper, we believe that the most effective pricing approach is the one presented in [28], where traffic is shared between mobile subscribers who are given the ability to select their preferable priority class, to receive the service and to be charged accordingly. These are in accordance with the evaluation of pricing schemes as presented in [10] and [12]. Thus evaluation results of the WSP profit will be increased according to the subscribers' satisfaction.…”

“…The parameter-based pricing schemes ( Figure 2) are distinguished in Static and Dynamic pricing schemes, based on their flexibility to change during their usage, their adaptability to various wireless technologies, and their scalability to upgrade and to transform to the needs of the WSPs and the subscribers [12]. Both categories can be further distinguished, to servicebased or to resource allocation-based pricing schemes, depending on the goal of the WSP, on the wireless network and the services offered to current and prospect subscribers.…”

The expansion of new technologies is expected to offer economic growth in the wired and wireless technological networking environment, while at the same time, it will offer a wide variety of services and give the possibility for utilizing technologies for the benefit of many subscribers. The Pricing Schemes are designed to offer profitable business to the Wireless Service Providers (WSPs), as well as, to create favorable services for the mobile subscribers and eventually to get charged according to their services usage. In this paper, the Pricing Schemes are classified, based on their ability to adapt to the needs of the WSPs and their subscribers during the entire service period, into Static-based Pricing and Dynamic-based Pricing Schemes. The Pricing Schemes are also analyzed in detail and are further classified according to the factors involved in the price calculation of a service, i.e. the Service Level Agreement (SLA), the subscription type, the negotiation capabilities between WSPs and their subscribers, the network capacity, the available bandwidth and frequency spectrum, the network hops, and the Base Stations (BSs). The affected elements by the pricing network are also discussed, together with the performance evaluation of the presented pricing schemes.

“…This approach is clearly similar to the extensive work in literature on anticipatory resource reservations for quality of service assurances such as [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The main differences between our approach and resource reservation techniques is in philosophy.…”

In this paper, we propose a strategy for individual users to purchase frequency spectrum in cognitive radio based wireless networks. From the user's perspective, the goal is to reduce the cost of acquiring the spectrum needed to meet the quality of service needs of their real-time streaming applications.The key aspect of our proposed strategy is that the users can purchase spectrum for use in future time instances based on stochastic predictions of their locations and the prices set by competing wireless service providers. Another important aspect of the proposed strategy is that the tuning of many design parameters is not required as the tuning is often needed in conventional schemes. To evaluate our proposed scheme, we model a user utility function based on the cost of spectrum purchase and its impact on the quality of service. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy performs better than baseline schemes in terms of user utility.

“…The cooperating network will be offering costs that, according to our formulations, are collectively denoted as cst P (u, s 2 , q 23 , wl cp , x 10 ). The offered costs, by nw in the reversed Dutch model, or the cooperating networks in the reversed English model, can be determined by pricing models [46]. Our work is generic with respect to this area.…”

In the era of wireless communications, Beyond the 3rd Generation (B3G), a network operator (NO) should satisfy numerous requirements, namely, personalisation, context awareness, always best connectivity, ubiquitous service provision and seamless mobility. A NO can efficiently satisfy the requirements by relying on the different radio networks of its heterogeneous infrastructure, and potentially on other cooperating networks. In this respect, the NO should possess advanced management mechanisms for driving its users to the most appropriate networks that satisfy the requirements. The presentation of such a management system is the specific contribution of this paper. The system is called Reconfigurable Terminal Management System (RTMS). In general, it provides the means for profile modelling, the acquisition of monitoring/discovery/context information, and the negotiation and selection of configurations, based on information deriving from policies, as well as the profiles and the context. Our work focuses on the role and the information of the components of the RTMS. Concrete functionality for accomplishing the role is also presented. Nevertheless, the system is open to the integration of alternate functionality. Our discussion includes a business case that presents in high-level terms the role of the management system, a detailed description of the components of the management system and results that show the efficiency of the management schemes. A summary and further research challenges, conclude this article.
