Abstract
The problem of cooperative downloading of mobile wireless data was studied. To spur the mobile users with limited resources in mobile devices to participate in cooperative downloading, a novel incentive mechanism for cooperative data downloading based on auction theories was designed with the considerations of cooperative users' differential service qualities and their dual identity (they can be treated as data sellers as well as partners of requestors). The incentive mechanism can spur and select appropriate users to complete data downloading tasks under multi-task situation. The simulation experiment shows that compared with the incentive mechanisms ignoring dual identity of cooperative users, this new incentive mechanism can improve the quality of cooperative service, utility of requestors and social welfare.
