Contract-Based Incentive Mechanisms for Device-to-Device Communications in Cellular Networks

Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) communication is viewed as one promising technology to boost the capacity of wireless networks and the efficiency of resource management. D2D communication heavily depends on the participation of users in sharing contents. Thus, it is imperative to introduce new incentive mechanisms to motivate such user involvement. In this paper, a contract-theoretic approach is proposed to solve the problem of providing incentives for D2D communication in cellular networks. First, using the framework … Show more

“…Data sharing over device-to-device (D2D) links has been shown to provide a multitude of performance gains in terms of throughput and spectral efficiency enhancement [4][5][6], energy consumption reduction [7][8][9][10], and end user cost savings and incentives [11][12][13]. However, reliable and efficient D2D data sharing in practice hinges on several factors that include content availability, users' proximity and ability to connect to each other, users' mobility patterns, and contact intervals [14], in addition to other aspects such as cooperation incentives and trust establishment [15,16].…”

“…According to contract theory, an incentive mechanism can be realized, which will encourage every employee to consciously choose the contract designed to its service capability. It has been applied into the resource allocation problems for device-to-device communications [31], heterogeneous Long-term Evlution-Advanced (LTE-A) networks [32] and heterogeneous cloud-based radio access networks [33]. The classic contract theory is based on the definition of different employee types, which is just considered as an abstract index without any specific definition in the aforementioned studies.…”

“…Contract theory is a powerful model to analyze incentive problem with information asymmetry from economics [10], and has been adopted in some contemporary research work [11]- [12]. In the contract-theoretical model, the BS play as the principal, who outsources the data transmission work to some content provider UEs near the content requester UE.…”

“…Nazari and Jamalipour adopted the contract and auction theory to design a forwarding incentive mechanism for multi-relay cooperative wireless networks [11]. Zhang et al [12] proposed a contract-based incentive mechanism for content dissemination in D2D cooperative communications. The incentive mechanisms in [11]- [12] employs the screening mechanism from contract theory to solve the Information Asymmetry problem -the transmission ability of the agents toward the content requester are naturally known to themselves, but not known to the principal.…”
