Abstract User-centric services are a growing concern. While the digital society definitely needs better quality-of-experience (QoE) for the user, the applications on smart mobile devices will continue to raise trac in mobile radio networks by almost 100% per annum. Future generations of access technologies are challenged by this and the conventional over-provisioning approach will not hold anymore, especially during busy hours. Congestion will happen more and more often, leading to a much worse QoE for everyone involved. Increasing the supply side by better spectral eciency of 5G radio networks cannot work on its own, if demand is increasing much faster than supply. The new user-in-the-loop (UIL) approach targets at convincing the user to participate actively in improving a common utility, instead of assuming an unconstrained trac and homogeneous user density in a cell area. UIL can shape the demand at the user, either in space or time. Incentives are used to motivate changing location to a place of better spectral eciency. Dynamic tari s are one way for shifting demand out of the busy hours. We call this the smart grid of communications. This paper provides models for the user behavior based on initial survey results. It is the first work to answer the questions about what incentive will lead to what user reaction. Thus we are now able to quantitatively describe the user block in a system-theoretic framework. Results indicate that shaping the user behavior works well and the analysis of simulation results suggest the significant gains achievable with UIL.
