Abstract
The development of pricing schemes that account for the specific challenges
in streaming video to wireless clients is one of the key requirements
for making wireless video services economically viable. In this paper
we develop a conceptual framework for the pricing of wireless video
streaming. Our framework incorporates the quality of the delivered
video in the given networking context in an earnings model and captures
the costs for the video service in a cost model. We discuss these
models in the context of cellular, WLAN, and multi-hop wireless networks.
We illustrate the developed pricing framework through numerical experiments
with videos of a range of quality levels.
