Perspectives of Bandwidth Sharing Schemes in Communication Systems with Blocking
Chia‐Hung Wang, Mu‐En Wu, Wei‐Ho Chung · 2015
This paper introduces two revenue management schemes to allocate the limited bandwidth from capitalistic and socialistic perspectives, respectively. Under the budget constraint, the revenue functions with the congestion costs are studied through the mathematical properties of the blocking probability with respect to the bandwidth allocation. In addition, we derive the monotone and convex relations between the allocated bandwidth and factors affecting the revenue functions. The analysis for the proposed two management schemes contributes managerial insights for different network managers while determining bandwidth allocation on their operating network.
