A simple congestion pricing in wireless communication
Sang-Wook Han, Youngnam Han · 2006
Charging to users under severe high interference and making congestion may constitute a main concern of future wireless systems. In this paper, we would like to find a simple congestion pricing scheme using the shadow price concept about a utility maximization problem in microeconomics, where users consume high SIR using limited resource, transmission power. We proposed a distributed pricing method that each user is charged differently based on their transmission environment and a distributed algorithm to achieve optimal price. In this paper, we begin with simple utility function and derive an optimal pricing for users generating high interference. Finally, we will show how this pricing scheme is related to operator's profits.
