Abstract

A system and method for billing customers of a cellular network according to the desired perceptual quality of service (QoS) is described. A cellular network is segmented into a plurality of classifications, wherein each classification is associated with the wireless devices that subscribe to the cellular network. The classifications define the conditions for admittance onto the network, as well as, the perceptual QoS to be provided to the wireless device once admitted. In particular, each classification indicates an expected perceptual QoS level of a voice signal that is transmitted to an associated wireless device. Customers are billed a higher rate for a higher level of perceptual QoS. Based on this expected quality level, the network dynamically adjusts the transmission parameters of each connection to maintain the expected quality level for a wireless device connected with the network.
