Self-report traffic pricing model based on incentive stackelberg strategy

This paper deal with a kind of routing control problems of networks. The incentive Stackelberg strategy concept in the game theory was introduced to the network traffic model that comprises subsidiary systems of consumers (users) and network. Moreover, to unify the benefits of operators and consumers, a novel self-report network traffic pricing model is constructed. The main idea of the model is that users themselves reporting network traffic according to own practical demand. In the model, the part of excess or leavings will be appropriate punished by a new establishing linear incentive strategy. The results of the theoretical analysis and simulation demonstrate that the proposed strategy provides incentive by means of appropriate resource allocation, and improves the utilization of network resources.
