Abstract
In this paper, we study a wireless multi-hop network where multiple flows co-exist and share the network resource collectively. Each flow is associated with a user which has specific requirements on its tradeoff between cost and quality of service. To support heterogeneous transmissions efficiently, we propose a quality-aware dynamic pricing algorithm, namely, QADP, which provably maximizes the overall network revenue while maintaining the stability of the network. Our proposed scheme enjoys the merit of self-adaptability due to its online nature. © 1983-2012 IEEE.
