METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING TRAFFIC VOLUME CAPS IN WIRELESS CELLULAR NETWORKS

摘要

Method for optimizing traffic volume caps in mobile cellular networks comprising: defining three traffic volume caps (x, y, z), wherein x indicates number of messages from mobile messaging services, y indicates bandwidth for mobile data and z indicates duration time of voice calls; computing initial user balance by subtracting total traffic cost generated by user for the mobile cellular network operator from total revenue paid by user to the mobile cellular network operator; obtaining total user balance for a range of caps (x, y, z) using the initial balance and at least a, net-oblivious or net-aware balance model which determines whether user is affected by the caps (x, y, z); selecting optimal traffic volume caps which maximize the total user balance. The method also computes social attraction parameters pk as a fraction of customers of the mobile cellular network operator having k contacts in the mobile cellular network operator.

1. A method for optimizing traffic volume caps in a mobile cellular network which has a number Nk of customers with a number k of contacts with a user, k≧0, the method comprising:
defining three traffic volume caps (x, y, z), wherein a first volume cap x indicates number of messages from mobile messaging services, a second volume cap y indicates bandwidth for mobile data and a third volume cap z indicates duration time of voice calls; computing an initial balance of the user by subtracting a total traffic cost generated by the user for the mobile cellular network operator from a total revenue paid by the user to the mobile cellular network operator; obtaining a total balance of the user for a range of traffic volume caps (x, y, z) using the initial balance and at least a model of the balance which determines whether the user is affected by the traffic volume caps (x, y, z); and selecting optimal traffic volume caps (xopt, yopt, zopt) which maximize the total balance for the user.
