Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Zero-rating is a business strategy where mobile network operators (MNOs) and virtual mobile network operators(MVNOs will not charge for the traffic of specific applications. Zero-rating has become a killer service for many Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) to attract users in the competitive MVNO market. However, how to achieve high-precision zero-rating is still challenging due to two main factors: 1) application providers may update their service (e.g., adding new servers) frequently; 2) upstream ISPs may introduce new in-network functions (e.g., caching and trans-coding) into their networks. Both will change the traffic pattern and signature that MVNOs’application classification is based on. Once the application signature changes, the accuracy of application identificationdecreasesuntiltheMVNOsareawareofthenewsignatureoftheirtargetedapplication. Inthispaper, weproposeahigh-precisionzero-ratingarchitecturebasedonourapplication-specificslicingtechnology[1][2], where wetagtrafficwithapplicationinfoatcustomizedsmartphone,whichcanbeusedtoidentifyapplicationsatMVNOs with 100% accuracy. We examine several zero-rating MVNO networks and observe that the existing zero-rating schemes of MVNOs are not accurate enough, and charge users on those applications that are advertised as count-free, which may result in disruption in the MVNO market. We also posit that the evaluation result highlights the necessity of our proposed architecture.
