  ABSTRACT: Mobile terminals are becoming the primary Internet devices for most of the people in the world, and smartphone users are generating on average 10 times more traffic than other users. Current forecasts expect mobile data traffic to grow by 300??500 percent over the next 10 years, whereas the capacity of cellular infrastructure only doubles every two years. In order to cope with these challenges, it is critical that telecom operators and Internet service providers adopt smarter traffic management and pricing strategies. By 2020, more than half of the revenue in the global broadband industry is likely to be from two business models: ??wholesale?? and ??two-sided?? fees for improved access capacity and quality. These models require enforcement of stringent policy control mechanisms for bandwidth management, quality of service (QoS), and service level agreements.

  ABSTRACT: With mobile terminals becoming the primary Internet devices for most of the people in the world and smartphone users generating on average 10 times more traffic than other users, it is critical that operators adopt smarter segmentation and pricing strategies. This paper analyzes how the deployment of QoS, with traffic segmentation by users and by services, may help service providers to achieve these objectives, save costs and go beyond the existing pricing models, while taking into account the new facets of mobile Internet usage patterns. In the analyzed cases, using the proposed QoS functions, simulation results for 3GPP High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) showed a spectral efficiency gain up to circa 30%; or, equivalently, a potential sites saving of about 22%, for serving the same amount of satisfied traffic on the best effort (BE) with capacity over provisioning. Extra benefits and better user experience are expected from the deployment of 3GPP HSPA+ and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems.

  Article: Improving quality of experience for network services [Guest Editorial]

  J.A. Hassan, S.K. Das, M. Hassan, C. Bisdikian, D. Soldani
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: In pursuit of new revenue opportunities and improving market competitiveness, network service providers are offering new value-added services, such as voice over IP (VoIP), video on demand (VoD), IPTV, and so on. With the increased competition, improving the quality of the offered services as perceived by the users, commonly referred to as the quality of experience (QoE), becomes very important as well as a significant challenge to the service providers with a goal to minimize the customer churn yet maintaining their competitive edge.
