Abstract:
We propose a general framework to analyze
incentives for user cooperation, and characterize the tradeoff
between fairness and efficiency for cooperative networks. More
specifically, we define the incentive region as a set of action
profiles that provides cooperation benefits to all users and focus
on the optimization of efficiency and fairness within this region.
We introduce a linear resource allocation (LRA) scheme and
show that most existing fairness measures can be converted to
LRA with different linear coefficient vectors. We then propose
the concept of strong price of fairness (SPoF) to study the
network efficiency of the strong equilibrium. We show that
both the SPoF and fairness measures are connected to the
linear coefficient vector of LRA, which makes it possible to
study the fairness and efficiency relationship. We then use the
random access (RA) system as an example to show how to use
the proposed framework to study a specific wireless network
