| Abstract: | Pricing and capacity sizing decisions are considered in a single-class Markovian model motivated by communication and information services. The service provider is assumed to operate a finite set of processing resources that can be shared among users, however, this shared mode of operation results in a service-rate degradation. Users, in turn, are sensitive to the delay implied by the potential degradation in service rate, and to the usage fee charged for accessing the system. The equilibrium behaviour of such systems are studied in the specific context of pricing and capacity sizing under revenue and social optimization objectives. |
