본 논문에서는 대용량의 대역폭을 사용하는 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스에서 발생할 수 있는 네트워크 혼잡 문제를 효율적으로 제어하며, 동시에 우선순위가 높은 서비스의 QoS를 보장하는 적응적 온라인 가격결정 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 현재 네트워크의 트래픽 상황을 기반으로 하여 적응성과 유연성을 제공하는 실시간 온라인기법을 기반으로 수행되기 때문에 실제 네트워크 운영에 적용하기가 용이하다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 본 논문이 제안한 방법이 다양한 네트워크 트래픽 상황에서 우수한 성능을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

As the gaps become narrower in interconnection fee and volume rate, the MNOs began to introduce flat pricing for unlimited voice traffic competitively in Korea wireless telecommunication market : 'unlimited talks within intra-network' by the 1st operator, followed by the 3rd operator's 'unlimited talks over all networks'. As a result, subscribers tip in toward the third ranked operator and could bring a substantial change to steadfast market structure over the last decade in Korea. This paper aims to develop a simple economic model to analyze competition with flat pricing for unlimited voice traffic, and to check whether the pricing can be appropriate for the MNOs. The results show that MNOs already step in the necessary conditions to launch flat pricing for voice traffic. It also predicts that the MNOs compete with unlimited talk over all networks and set a single fee in an equilibrium. At present, the MNOs run virtually identical pricing for unlimited talk over all networks, considering their differentiation with respect to service quality, coverage and brand preference.

본 논문에서는 다중클래스 통신망을 위한 새로운 과금 (pricing) 기반의 호수락 제어 (call admission control) 알고리즘 제안한다. 본 알고리즘에서는 통신망에 새롭게 호가 도착하게 되면, 요청 회선의 수와 필요로 하는 최소 시간을 통신망에 알려준다. 통신망은 기대 수익 (expected revenue)을 최대화하는 최적의 과금을 계산하여 호에 제안한다. 이때, 최적 과금은 도착한 호의 정보와 현재 그리고 미래에 추정되는 호 예약시간 동안의 망내 정체(congestion) 정도를 기반으로 동적으로 조정된다. 호가 제안된 과금을 수락하면 호는 연결이 되고 그렇지 않으면 연결이 되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 동적 과금 기반 호수락 제어 알고리즘의 성능을 Courcoubetis와 Reiman[1] 그리고 Paschalidis와 Tsitsiklis [2]의 정적 과금 기반 호수락 제어 알고리즘의 성능과 비교한다. 비록 두 알고리즘은 거의 같은 수익 결과를 보이지만, 동적 알고리즘이 정적 알고리즘에 비해 더 높은 호 수락율과 각 호에 낮은 과금을 제안하는 측면에서 더 뛰어난 성능을 나타냄을 보인다. 이는 경쟁 상황에서 정적 가격 알고리즘에 비해 동적 가격 알고리즘이 더 많은 사용자를 끌어들여 수익을 더 낼 수 있음을 의미하며 더 나아가 접속 요금이 과금에 고려된다면, 동적 과금 호수락 제어 알고리즘이 더 많은 수익을 낼 수 있음을 보인다.

LMP based pricing system has many merits over SMP. One of them is that network congestion can be managed by the market price together with congestion revenue rights. Korean power system has a peculiar property that the transmission line where network congestion occurs is known and does not vary. For such a system, zonal pricing method is considered to be appropriate as it is simpler than nodal pricing. In this paper, we did feasibility study on zone grouping method and tendency of zonal price compared with nodal price.

In this paper, we present an efficient pricing strategy, the pivot and probe Algorithm for Network Flow Problems(PAPANET), specifically for solving capacitated, linear network flow problem (NPs). The PAPANET begins with an initial relaxed network problem(RNP), consisting of all the nodes and initial candidate arcs(possibly a few least cost arcs form the original problem and a set of all the artificial and slack arcs). After an initial solution to the RNP is derived by pivoting, the PROBE procedure identifies a set of most violated arcs from the noncandidate arcs that are not considered to be in the current RNP, and adds them to the RNP. The procedure also discards a set of least favorable, zero flow, nonbasic arcs from the RNP. The new RNP is solved to optimality and the procedure continues until all of the dual constraints of the noncandidate arcs are satisfied by the dual solution to the RNP. The PAPANET effectively reduces the problem size, time per pivot, and solution CPU time by eliminating noncandidate arcs. Computational tests on randomly generated problems indicate that PAPANET achieves and average savings of 50-80% of the solution CPU time of that of a comparable standard network simplex implementation.

다양한 응용 서비스의 특성, 마케팅과 규제등으로 인하여 네트워크 서비스에 대한 공정요금을 결정하기란 매우 힘들다. 그러나 사항들을 네크워크의 운용에만 한정되는 것이 아니라 QoS 보장을 위한 기술적 제약과 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는 P-MMBBP에 근거한 MPEG 비디오 모형에서 전력 스펙트럼 분석 기법을 사용하여 패킷의 지연 특성과 비디오 화질 저하를 평가하였다. 이를 바탕으로 QoS를 고려한 효율적 요금 기법을 도출하기 위하여 할인율을 적용한 새로운 공정요금 기법을 제안하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 요금 기법은 광역 네트워크에서 요금의 공정성을 보장할 수 있는 특성을 보였다.

In the competitive electricity market, various pricing methods are developed and practiced in many countries. Among these pricing methods, marginal loss factor(MLF) can be applied to reflect the marginal cost of network losses. For the calculation of MLF, power flow method has been used to calculate system loss deviation. However, this power flow method shows some shortcomings such as necessity of regional reference node, and absence of an ability to consider network constraints like line congestion, voltage limit, and generation output limit. The former defect might affects adversely to the equity of market participants and the latter might generate an inappropriate price signals to customers and generators. To overcome these defects, the utilization of optimal power flow(OPF) is suggested to get the system loss deviation in this paper. 30-bus system is used for the case study to compare the MLF results by the power flow and the OPF method for 24-hour dispatching and pricing, Generator payment and customer charge are compared with these two methods also. The results show that MLF by OPF reflects the power system condition more faithfully than that of by the conventional power flow method

This paper presents a price-based quality-of-service (QoS) control framework for two-class network services, in which circuit-switched and packet-switched services are defined as "premium service class" and "best-effort service class," respectively. Given the service model, a customer may decide to use the other class as a perfect or an imperfect substitute when he or she perceives the higher utility of the class. Given the framework, fixed-point problems are solved numerically to investigate how static pricing can be used to control the demand and the QoS of each class. The rationale behind this is as follows: For a network service provider to determine the optimal prices that maximize its total revenue, the interactions between the QoS-dependent demand and the demand-dependent QoS should be thoroughly analyzed. To test the robustness of the proposed model, simulations were performed with gradually increasing customer demands or network workloads. The simulation results show that even with substantial demands or workloads, self-adjustment mechanism of the model works and it is feasible to obtain fixed points in equilibrium. This paper also presents a numerical example of guaranteeing the QoS statistically in the short term-that is, through the implementation of pricing strategies.

Electric industry has been the object of major reforms in many countries. These reforms are aimed at attaining efficiency through competition. Thus network companies do not charge transmission cost for line user the same as method at past. This paper presents a transmission cost allocation through reliability differentiated transmission pricing in competitive electric industry. The proposed method considers only the line capacity affecting the reliability of transmission pricing under normal state and contingency state.

The study on Wholesale pricing of MVNO using two way interconnection charge system is rare. This paper considers MVNO possessing its own facilities and subscribers. While previous studies focus on wholesale provision by MNO, this paper employs another approach from existing MVNO model. This paper introduces two way interconnection charge system by recognizing that mobile network interconnection is important to complete the call from MNO to MVNO as well as the call from MVNO to MNO. Also it is interesting to analyze wholesale pricing when there is brand loyalty between MNO and MVNO. This paper analyzes retail pricing and wholesale pricing under duopoly competition and drives social optimal solutions using linear city model.
