“…Generally, pricing mechanisms mainly concentrate on motivating users to share resource with others and not declining other users' requests by relating their behaviors to a financial utility or mechanism. Several interesting pricing approaches have been presented for P2Ps in recent years, for example, the lottery-based scheme (Zghaibeh and Harmantzis, 2008), the Lagrangian multiplier method (Eger and Killat, 2007;Koutsopoulos and Iosifidis, 2010;Neely and Golubchik, 2011), the microeconomics-based approach (Kumar et al, 2011;Analoui and Rezvani, 2011), auction-based mechanisms Zuo and Zhang, 2013), and game-based ones (Park and Van Der Schaar, 2010;Nakano and Okaie, 2010;Okaie and Nakano, 2012;Kang and Wu, 2015;Lin et al, 2015). In this paper we propose a pricing scheme to achieve reasonable resource allocation in P2P file-sharing networks.…”
