Abstract: Wireless communications have experienced geometric growth. Global System for Mobile communication operators have taken several measures to expand their network facilities as a result of increase in demand but have not been able to combat congestion problem in packet network. One of the main issues that modern Internet users face is network congestion. A dynamic pricing system called Paris metro pricing (PMP) addresses packet network congestion, like that found in the internet. It is employed to divide a network into multiple logical networks, each of which would do its best to treat every packet equally. The only difference between the various networks would be the cost of using them. On the other hand, the concept of shadow price involves the use of marks. Marks are issued when network is congested. A mark represents a set amount that the user must pay to send packets. In this study, software using flutter framework application was built to simulate a prototype typical base station. Presentation and analysis of the obtained experimental results of the two dynamic pricing schemes shows that Shadow pricing is more efficient in managing congestion than PMP. Furthermore, the combined effect of both pricing schemes manages congestion effectively and generated more revenue.
