Wi-Fi卸载:公地悲剧还是牛奶和蜂蜜之地?

Wi-Fi Offload: Tragedy of the Commons or Land of Milk and Honey?

摘要:

由于最近在提供现场无线互联网接入方面取得的成功,Wi-Fi目前被认为是普及移动宏网络卸载的最佳定位技术。然而,多个并置运营商向这种新范式的广泛转变可能导致对现有公共未许可频谱的激烈竞争。有鉴于此,我们的论文从博弈论的角度剖析了市场融合的情况下,通过评估供应商之间的竞争,在网络性能,容量限制,成本降低和收入前景。我们会密切比较提供Wi-Fi服务的固网营办商与使用未领牌频谱的流动网络营办商的前景及策略定位。我们的研究结果突出了对运营商间协作模型的重要依赖,更重要的是,回程和Wi-Fi接入比特率之间的比率。此外,我们对中长期融合场景的调查表明,可能需要重新考虑针对未授权频谱的大规模货币化的控制措施,否则所使用的免费频段可能会受到公共资源问题的影响。

英文摘要:

Fueled by its recent success in provisioning on-site wireless Internet access, Wi-Fi is currently perceived as the best positioned technology for pervasive mobile macro network offloading. However, the broad transitions of multiple collocated operators towards this new paradigm may result in fierce competition for the common unlicensed spectrum at hand. In this light, our paper game-theoretically dissects market convergence scenarios by assessing the competition between providers in terms of network performance, capacity constraints, cost reductions, and revenue prospects. We will closely compare the prospects and strategic positioning of fixed line operators offering Wi-Fi services with respect to competing mobile network operators utilizing unlicensed spectrum. Our results highlight important dependencies upon inter-operator collaboration models, and more importantly, upon the ratio between backhaul and Wi-Fi access bit-rates. Furthermore, our investigation of medium- to long-term convergence scenarios indicates that a rethinking of control measures targeting the large-scale monetization of unlicensed spectrum may be required, as otherwise the used free bands may become subject to tragedy-of-commons type of problems.
