Incentive Mechanism for Crowdsourced Mobile Video Offloading

In this work, we propose a time-sensitive incentive-aware mechanism for mobile video offloading by using the idea of crowdsourcing, where video packet holder cooperates with mobile users to deliver video packets to destination. The objective is to maximize video provider and mobile relay users' payoffs. We formulate the interaction among video packet provider and mobile relay users as a two-person cooperative game, where the video packets are treated as commodities. We apply the Nash bargain solution to obtain the optimal cooperation decision and payment. We carry out extensive simulation based on the real-world traces to validate the superiority of our proposed scheme.
