Abstract

We propose an auction-based pricing scheme for admission in a GPRS network, that could enhance the GPRS data service. Important features of our approach are the partitioning of dedicated channels for enhanced data service and the employment of an auction mechanism based on revenue-maximizing auctions (optimal auctions).
