A Contract and Balancing Mechanism for Sharing Capacity in a Communication Network
提出一种方法，用于确定通信网络用户共享带宽时的收费方式，可避免容量提供方故意增加拥塞的逆向激励，适用于网络所有者出售带宽或用户合作建网共享的场景。
We propose a method for determining how much to charge users of a communication network when they share bandwidth. Our approach can be employed either when a network owner wishes to sell bandwidth for a specified period of time to a number of different users, or when users cooperate to build a network to be shared among themselves. Our proposed contract and balancing mechanism can mediate between rapidly fluctuating prices and the longer time scales over which bandwidth contracts may be traded. An advantage of the process is that it avoids perverse incentives for a capacity provider to increase congestion.
