Dynamic Pricing for Network Service: Equilibrium and Stability
研究单一组织运营的数据通信网络中，系统管理者在未知需求下通过动态定价引导最优到达率的机制，分析三种定价规则与用户预期模型下的均衡及其稳定性条件。
Consider a data communication network owned and operated by a single organization. The network has an infinite number of small users and is managed by a system manager (SM) whose objective is to maximize the net value of the system as a whole. The objective of this paper is to study pricing mechanisms that induce the optimal arrival rates when the SM has no full knowledge of the demand in advance. We investigate the system behavior under three alternative dynamic pricing rules and users' expectations models, and characterize the equilibrium and its stability conditions.
