Abstract :
In this paper we introduce our on-going work on WiFi hotspot throughput optimization using 2-hop relays. We analyse incentives correlations with varying network conditions, node mobility and number of users in the network. Our simulation results provide guidance to optimal network utilization with fair incentive distribution to both users and providers
