Abstract

With the continuous development of mobile wireless networks, they have become a new player in the competitive market of data service provision. Economical aspects such as pricing strategy are part of most of today’s market strategies. In this article, we focus on the problem of resource allocation and price definition in a competitive scenario with mobile wireless providers. In this context we review the centralized solution of the welfare maximization problem and propose a distributed solution that uses only local channel information. The results show that the proposed solution presents a small error when compared to the centralized solution
