Network pricing using game theoretic approach

RJ La, V Anantharam - … of the 38th IEEE Conference on …, 1999 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We model the interaction between the network and the network users as a noncooperative
game and study the Nash equilibrium points (NEP) of the game. We show that there is a …

Pricing differentiated services: A game-theoretic approach

E Altman, D Barman, R El Azouzi, D Ros, B Tuffin - Computer Networks, 2006 - Elsevier
The goal of this paper is to study pricing of differentiated services and its impact on the
choice of service priority at equilibrium. We consider both TCP connections as well as …

Optimal flow control and capacity allocation in multi-service networks

SH Rhee, T Konstantopoulos - … of the 37th IEEE Conference on …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The optimal flow control of noncooperative users in multiservice networks is investigated in a
game-theoretic way. We adopt a model that differs from previously considered ones in that a …

Decentralized network resource allocation as a repeated noncooperative market game

RT Maheswaran, T Basar - … of the 40th IEEE Conference on …, 2001 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Market-based methods are an emerging paradigm for controlling large decentralized
systems. We introduce in this paper a bidding mechanism for allocation of Internet resources …

A pricing mechanism which implements in Nash equilibria a rate allocation problem in networks

TM Stoenescu, JO Ledyard - … of the 45th IEEE Conference on …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a pricing mechanism which implements in Nash equilibria a rate allocation
problem in unicast service provisioning. This mechanism is different from the ones which …

Differentiated Internet pricing using a hierarchical network game model

H Shen, T Basar - Proceedings of the 2004 American Control …, 2004 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper builds on the model and results of T. Basar and R. Srikant,(2002) and extends
them to the case of differentiated prices, again for the single link case. It introduces a …

Incentive-based pricing for network games with complete and incomplete information

H Shen, T Başar - Advances in dynamic game theory: numerical methods …, 2007 - Springer
We introduce the concept of nonlinear pricing within the context of our previous Stackelberg
network game model and view the Internet Service Provider's (ISP's) policy as an incentive …

Inefficient noncooperation in networking games of common-pool resources

H Kameda, E Altman - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study in this paper a noncooperative approach for sharing resources of a common pool
among users, wherein each user strives to maximize its own utility. The optimality notion is …

Incentive-compatible pricing strategies in noncooperative networks

YA Korilis, TA Varvarigou… - … . IEEE INFOCOM'98, the …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The complexity of modern networks calls for decentralized control schemes where each user
makes its control decisions independently based on some individual performance …

Efficiency and stability of nash equilibria in resource allocation games

T Harks, K Miller - … Conference on Game Theory for Networks, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study resource allocation games, where users send data along paths and links in the
network charge a price equal to marginal cost. When users are price taking, it is known that …
