Abstract
A challenge in the convergence of heterogeneous networks is how to combine the ubiquitous resources and provide the diversified individual services. This paper designs a market model for aggregating reconfiguration in heterogeneous networks based on the tradeoff between resource allocation and consumers’ requirement. To unify the benefits of operators and consumers, a novel Stackelberg-based dynamic incentive pricing algorithm is proposed. The results of the theoretical analysis and simulation demonstrate that the proposed strategy provides incentive for cooperation by means of appropriate resource allocation, and improves the utilization of network resources, thereby effectively realizing the optimization of the whole network performance.
