Pricing in Multi-Service Communication Networks: A Game-theoretic Approach

The promise of multi-class communication networks is gradually becoming a reality. The term multi-class means that the network provides different classes of service that can support diverse application requirements and heterogeneous users demand. This dissertation focuses on establishing an equitable price for each class of service in multi-class networks, considering fairness among the classes and economic efficiency. We adopt a game-theoretic approach to the problem in order to take into account the interdependence among users' service choices.
