- Abstract
- The quality of network services deteriorates as network utilization
increases beyond a certain point, i.e., congestion externalities. Many
researchers have proposed congestion pricing models which internalize
congestion externalities. However, most studies are based on a unit
pricing which cannot reflect users different congestion sensitivities. The
purpose of this paper is to propose a discriminatory congestion pricing
model using adverse selection. Our pricing mechanism provides a congestion-sensitive user with a high quality service for a higher price
and a congestion-tolerant user with a low quality service for a lower
price. Our model allows service providers to better control congestions
while maximizing their profits.
