Abstract

Multi-hop cellular network (MCN) can preserve the advantages of traditional single-hop cellular networks and ad hoc relaying networks. In multi-hop network, efficient bandwidth management plays an important role in determining network performance. In this paper, a new bandwidth management scheme is proposed for MCNs. By integrating the Nash and Kalai–Smorodinsky bargaining models, the proposed scheme adaptively controls the wireless bandwidth to maximize network efficiency. In the proposed Nash and Kalai–Smorodinsky bargaining models, bargaining powers are decided according to the real-time negotiation process. It is a powerful method for resolving conflicts and enables the system to fairly and effectively control the bandwidth management problem. With a simulation study, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme approximates an optimized solution under widely diverse traffic load intensities.
