Market models and pricing mechanisms in a multihop wireless hotspot network Export

In this paper, we adopt the "pay for service" incentive model, i.e., clients pay the relaying nodes for their packet forwarding service. Our focus in this paper is to determine a "fair" pricing for packet forwarding. To this end, we model the system as a market where the pricing for packet forwarding is determined by demand and supply. Depending on the network communication scenario, the market models are different. We classify the network into four different scenarios and propose different pricing mechanisms for them.

We also show that maintaining communication among the relaying nodes is important for a stable market pricing.}, author = {Chen, K. and Yang, Z. and Wagener, C. and Nahrstedt, K.}, citeulike-article-id = {1039363}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1540989}, journal = {Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Services, 2005.
