Enhanced Data Services in GPRS Networks Via Auction-Based Prices for Admission

Overview GPRS data service fails to support most real-time applications, because of its low data throughput. The main cause is due to the resource-sharing between voice and data traffic. Since voice has priority over data, there are only few traffic channels available for data traffic. An auction-based pricing scheme for admission in a GPRS network that could enhance the GPRS data service is proposed in this paper. Important features of the approach are the partitioning of dedicated channels for enhanced data service and the employment of an auction mechanism based on revenue-maximizing auctions (optimal auctions).
