Pricing Incentive Mechanism Supporting Load Balancing for QoS-Enabled Networks

We propose a novel pricing incentive mechanism supporting load balancing and allocating network resource efficiently for QoS-enabled networks. In this paper, we integrate the proposed pricing with QoS routing and present a novel pricing incentive mechanism meeting the QoS requirements of application. This mechanism provides a equitable pricing incentive for applications to according to their service requests. We study the pricing and different levels of services in detail and integrate admission control scheme and load balancing in our framework. By theoretical analysis and extensive simulations, we prove its effectiveness in making traffic load balancing and providing an incentive for users to utilize network resources for users´satisfaction.
