Abstract
The high concentration of wireless devices in densely populated areas creates an alternative radio communication channel that enables users to exchange data without the use of their Internet service provider. The magnitude of user-provided networks depends entirely on user cooperation. Various incentive mechanisms are available to promote sharing. Incentive mechanisms for user-provided networks have the following classification: vehicular, social, and 3G/4G offloading. Applications, end-to-end delays and security issues are topics of analysis. Implementation of incentive mechanisms, which compensate users for their shared resources, may lead to future 3G/4G network offload and lower Internet costs for cooperative users. Challenges and open issues are discussed.
