Abstract:
A method for allocating and pricing access to alternative access networks may include: inputting, by one or more parties, needs for alternative network access and representative values for satisfying the needs; setting, by providers of alternative network access, reserve prices for access to each of access point in the alternative network; generating a solution based on a mixed integer program to maximize value created by allocation of alternative network access; and allocating alternative network access to the one or more parties based on the mixed integer program solution.

Claim (Index 15):
A system comprising:\n at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,\n receive, from each of one or more parties, an offloading demand for access to an alternative network and a value of the offloading demand to the party, \n receive, from each of a plurality of providers of access to the alternative network, a reserve price for access to one or more access points in the alternative network that are provided by the provider, wherein the reserve price is a minimum price that must be met on average across all of the one or more access points provided by that provider, and, \n for each of one or more sectors and each of one or more time slots,\n allocate at least one access point in the alternative network, in the sector and for the time slot, to at least one of the one or more parties based on the received values of the offloading demands and the received reserve prices, and, \n during the time slot, offload one or more mobile devices, that are communicatively connected to a primary network of the at least one party within the sector, to the allocated at least one access point in the alternative network.
