Bandwidth Allocation for a Revenue-Aware Network Utility Maximization
David Mayer, Javier A Barria · IEEE Communications Letters · 2007
In this letter, we consider the Network Utility Maximization (NUM) problem in which a loss-related revenue indicator is set up by an operator as a constraint. We propose an algorithm which artificially modifies capacity constraints of a standard NUM algorithm. This results in a price-based mechanism that drives users into an operating point which maximizes total user utility for a given revenue indicator constraint.
