In the past decade, low-cost carriers that offer point-to-point connections with frequent services have been consistently more profitable than those operating hub-and-spoke networks. Therefore, we study the advantages of each network as compared with the other. In addition to actual fares, time costs also affect the consumers' preferences, so the increase in flight frequency causes an increase in demand Besides, the more passengers the airline carries, the more frequent services it offers. Thus, a positive feedback mechanism is incorporated into an economy of frequency. Additionally, the complementarity that arises from the demand for two-way trips is investigated.

Economy of Frequency and Airline Network Structure Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine; Kobayashi, Kiyoshi (2006-01-01) Recently, emerging airline companies providing frequent point-to-point (PP) flight services have proven to be more profitable than those operating hub-spoke (HS) networks. Customers can enjoy more flexibility to arrange their itinerary by choosing PP flights. The strategic complementarity appeared in customers' choices of air carriers brings about thick-market externality. In the markets where thick market externality works, more customers choose PP flights, more frequent PP flights become available. Thus, ...
Hardware design and implementation of packet fair queuing algorithms for the quality of service support in the high-speed internet Sanli, Mustafa; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Guran, Hasan Cengiz (2012-09-05) The increasing amount of real-time traffic carried over the Internet requires end-to-end quality of service (QoS) support. To this end, the QoS Schedulers, that are implemented in routers, assign the available bandwidth resources to packet flows according to their respective allocated rates. Packet Fair Queuing (PFQ) schedulers can provide fair service and low end-to-end delay bound to the traffic flows. However, they have higher implementation complexity compared to other algorithms, because of the require...
Collaboration among small shippers in cargo transportation Yılmaz, Özhan; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009) As a result of widespread and effective usage of internet, firms tend to collaborate to reduce their operating costs. This thesis analyzes collaboration opportunities for a group of small shippers. A transportation intermediary determining the optimal actions for arriving shippers and a mechanism allocating savings to the shippers is proposed in the thesis. The performance of the intermediary is assessed by using computational analyses. An experimental set is formed that is by changing the parameters that a...
Dynamic Resource Management in Next Generation Networks with Dense User Traffic Aslan, Aysun; Bal Bozkurt, Gülce; Toker, Cenk (IEEE; 2020-12-04) With the era of the fifth generation (5G) networks, supporting all mobile service users who have different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements becomes the main challenge. To manage and satisfy the heterogeneous requirements, network slicing concept can be a solution over a common physical infrastructure. Splitting the network into slices which have different properties (e.g., bandwidth requirements, delay tolerance, user density, etc.) allows to schedule and optimize the requests under the constraint of l...
A Flow Aggregation Method for the Scalable and Efficient Quality of Service Support in Next Generation Networks Sanli, Mustafa; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Guran, Hasan Cengiz (2013-12-13) The services in the Next Generation Network (NGN) will be created on demand by the customers and will require end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for each flow. A very significant component for the end-to-end QoS support in the Internet is the packet schedulers in the routers. The complexity of the packet scheduling algorithms increases with the number of flows. As a solution, flow aggregation decreases the number of flows processed by the scheduler. The previous work in the literature proves that if the fl...
