The strategy is based on cooperative game theory and enacted in the context of cooperative relay networks. Using the pricing-based mechanism the system is modeled initially with two nodes and a Base Station BS . Within this framework each node is treated as a rational decision maker. To this end each node can decide whether to cooperate and how to cooperate. Cooperative game theory assists in providing an optimal system utility and provides fairness among users. Under different cooperative forwarding modes certain questions are carefully investigated including what is each node s best reaction to maximize its utility and what is the optimal reimbursement to encourage cooperation Simulation results show that the nodes benefit from the proposed cooperation stimulating strategy in terms of utility and thus justify the fairness between each user.
