Abstract

Priority queuing is often used as a way to provide differential services for users with different delay sensitivities. In this paper, an auction-based admission control and pricing mechanism is proposed for priority services, where higher priority services are allocated to the users who are more sensitive to delay, and each user pays a congestion fee for the external effect caused by her participation. The mechanism is proved to be strategy-proof and efficient.
