What is Bundle-Based Billing (Capped Billing Plan)

Chapter 1
Paving the Way for 5G Through the Convergence of Wireless Systems
A bundle-based billing is characterized by the fact that the user has to pay for a specific amount of data (bundle) in advance. That may be used over a given period of time. If the amount of data used is exceeded during the given period, the user may have the following options: (1) pays a different price for the exceeding quantity; (2) buys a new bundle at the same or different price; (3) the bandwidth is throttled.

Abstract
The increase in multimedia traffic is likely to pose challenges for the 5G networks. The data bundles are likely to increase but also open the door to new applications which will increase the data consumption. This chapter discusses how multimedia adaptation could be improved in this context by considering the user and the contextual factors for multimedia adaptation. This could be used to deliver a more accurate trade-off between quality and price. As a result, this could reduce the network consumptions, reduce the cost the user has to pay, and improve user satisfaction with the multimedia services.
