Abstract

Mobile users expect uninterrupted radio services whether operating in a host network or a foreign network. To support this, the cooperation of various mobile service providers becomes very important as they can share their available but unused resources among the mobile users. It has become possible for the mobile users to churn and leave the current service provider, if not happy with the offered services. This, eventually, may affect the revenue severely of the individual service provider besides defaming it. This work proposes a model on service pricing based on service providers' cooperation that utilizes the channels effectively and minimizes the call block and call drop. A penalty, on the service provider, is incorporated in the pricing which encourages a service provider to give utmost care to its users. A simulation experiment was carried out to study the performance of the proposed model, indicating the effectiveness of the model.
