Abstract

Aiming to meet the explosive growth of mobile data traffic and reduce the network congestion, we study Time Dependent Adaptive Pricing (TDAP) with threshold policies to motivate users to shift their Internet access from peak hours to off-peak hours. With the proposed TDAP scheme, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will be able to use less network capacity to provide users Internet access service with the same QoS. Simulation and analysis are carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed TDAP scheme based on the real Internet traffic pattern.
