论文摘要
价格和服务质量是无线网络用户选择网络提供商时考虑的两个关键因素。无线技术和大规模基础设施部署的最新进展导致了更好的覆盖范围，目前在每个给定的无线覆盖区域中都有一些网络提供商，每个网络提供者都有不同的定价策略。这些提供商可能会为其服务设定不公平的昂贵价格。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于众包的新型方法，用于物联网（IoT）中的公平无线服务定价。在我们考虑的寡头垄断中，监管设定了动态的最大服务价格，以防止反托拉斯行为和不公平的服务定价。我们提出了一个三轮定价模型，监管机构，无线网络提供商和客户是我们游戏的参与者。我们的方法将客户的偏好考虑到定价中，并发现公平服务定价略高于每个网络提供商的边际成本。我们的结果表明，我们的模型不容易勾结，只有一个网络宣布公平价格才会收敛
Price and the quality of service are two key factors taken into account by wireless network users when they choose their network provider. The recent advances in wireless technology and massive infrastructure deployments has led to better coverage, and currently at each given wirelessly covered area there are a few network providers and each have different pricing strategies. These providers can potentially set unfair expensive prices for their services. In this paper, we propose a novel crowdsourcing-based approach for fair wireless service pricing in Internet of Things (IoT). In our considered oligopoly, the regulatory sets a dynamic maximum allowed price of service to prevent anti-trust behaviour and unfair service pricing. We propose a three-tire pricing model where the regulator, wireless network providers and clients are the players of our game. Our method takes client preferences into account in pricing and discovers the fair service pricing just above the marginal costs of each network provider. Our results show that our model is not prone to collusion and will converges only if one network announces the fair price
