This chapter aims to provide new possibilities for service providers to enhance their revenues using the appropriate pricing scheme. Features and applicability of responsive pricing scheme and hybrid pricing for charging end users in next generation network are discussed. Game theory is used as an underlying concept for the implementation of pricing. In addition, transparent mapping of quality of service parameters to quality of business are considered, encompassing service price dependence on quality of service violation, which is consequently reflected on service provider's revenue.

Quality of business (QoBiz) is an important aspect of providing quality of telecommunication services that is being increasingly used in the pursuit of better business. It covers financial aspects of service provisioning, which is firmly related to service provider (SP) revenue and profit. In next generation network (NGN), relation between pure technical aspects (i.e., quality of service [QoS] and QoBiz) tend to be dynamic with pricing as an important tool for adjusting users' demand to network congestion, thus allowing a SP to maximize his revenue. This chapter aims to investigate and provide new possibilities for SPs to enhance their revenues using responsive pricing scheme for charging end users in NGN. Interaction of a SP and user is defined as a Stackelberg leader-follower game with provider acting as the leader and users acting as followers.

Quality of Service refers to the evaluation of the overall performance of a service, such as a telephony or computer network particularly the performance seen by the users of the network. QoS is mostly observed from the subscriber’s side. This includes aspects such as the mobile signal strength available to users and other call avaibility measurements. QoS is normally calculated during signal transmission called KPIs that is connected to the subscriber’s happiness whilst using mobile services. QoS parameters are monitored through RF analysis by Drive Test. Some of these QoS parameters related to call and data are discussed in this paper. These parameters directly or indirectly represents the quality of service provided by the network operators in context of Nepal. This analysis of parameters has helped us identify problems like call performance, slow servicing, least ease of use in a service test area for different service providers in the country.

The next generation wireless network needs to provide seamless roaming among various access technologies in a heterogeneous environment. In allowing users to access any system at anytime and anywhere, the performance of mobility-enabled protocols is important. While Mobile IPv6 is generally used to support macro-mobility, integrating Mobile IPv6 with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to support IP traffic will lead to improved mobility performance. Advanced resource management techniques will ensure Quality of Service (QoS) during real-time mobility within the Next Generation Network (NGN) platform. The techniques may use a QoS Manager to allow end-to-end coordination and adaptation of Quality of Service. The function of the QoS Manager also includes dynamic allocation of resources during handover. Heterogeneous networks raise many challenges in security. A security entity can be configured within the QoS Manager to allow authentication and to maintain trust relationships in order to minimize threats during system handover. The next generation network needs to meet the above requirements of mobility, QoS, and security.

La provisión de Calidad de Servicio (QoS, Quality of Service) es uno de los aspectos más importantes en el desarrollo de la Red de Nueva Generación (NGN, Next Generation Network). En este sentido, el suministro de QoS en redes basadas en IP, requiere de un proceso de negociación en el que se deben identificar los protocolos e interfaces necesarias para establecer de forma clara los procedimientos a ejecutar entre los elementos y funciones involucrados. Este artículo describe el proceso de negociación de calidad del servicio en el contexto de la NGN, donde el usuario, la capa de transporte y la capa de servicio acuerdan los parámetros de QoS de la sesión que se va a establecer para lograr un servicio con calidad.
