  Abstract

This paper presents a pricing model for maximizing a service providers profit, taking into account consumers' quality-of-service dependent willingness to pay, in integrated voice/data mobile services For the voice and the data services, time-sensitive pricing and volume-sensitive pricing mechamsm will be applied, respectively, as in the case of Korea's mobile service market. Assuming that consumers are very sensitive to call interruption during handoff moments, the model presented here considers reserving guard channels exclusively for handofftraffic, m the process of frequency channels allocation, as well as guaranteeing consumers quality of service regarding call interruption rate ultimately, this model proposes a means to guarantee the quahty of service in the short tenn, through pricing strategies as well as channel allocation policies, and the simulation results show that without expanding system resources, there exists a trade-off between profit and quality-of-service guarantee
