Abstract

This paper proposes pricing user centric requirements as a potential role for the Knowledge Plane. Assuming elastic users capable of modifying their behavior in response to the pricing signals, this approach may result in optimal resource allocation without necessity for the users to acquire detailed information on the network state as well as advanced knowledge of the user requirements by the network.
