TLDR
A packet scheduling method which guarantees bandwidth of the connection and optimizes revenue of the network service provider and a mechanism for guaranteeing a specified mean bandwidth for different service classes is presented.
Abstract
In this paper we present a packet scheduling method which guarantees bandwidth of the connection and optimizes revenue of the network service provider. A closed form formula for updating the adaptive weights of a packet scheduler is derived from a revenue-based optimization problem. The weight updating procedure is fast and independent on the assumption of the connections' statistical behavior. The features of the algorithm are simulated and analyzed with a call admission control (CAC) mechanism. We also show in context with the CAC procedure a mechanism for guaranteeing a specified mean bandwidth for different service classes.

NGL02-6: Game Theoretical Formulation of Admission Control and Pricing in Wireless Networks: The Case of Cooperating Providers

TL;DR: This work considers the existence of a visiting provider in the area, that can accept sessions from the home provider, to absorb overflow traffic due to instant lack of resources, and generates an admission control scheme that can improve the utility for the provider, while at the same time ensures the satisfaction of all sides involved.

Rate control for communication networks: shadow prices, proportional fairness and stability

TL;DR: This paper analyses the stability and fairness of two classes of rate control algorithm for communication networks, which provide natural generalisations to large-scale networks of simple additive increase/multiplicative decrease schemes, and are shown to be stable about a system optimum characterised by a proportional fairness criterion.
