“…In particular, the BSs are considered as the game players that compete for the resource demands of D2D devices where their utility is using the radio resources for both cellular and D2D communications. Barua et al [179] design a repeated game for cooperative content sharing in which a D2D node receives contents from the BS and broadcasts them to interested nodes. Since selfish nodes do not cooperate in data forwarding, the game takes the nodes' cooperation level into account to select the best content carriers.…”

The performance of data delivery in wireless relay networks (WRNs), such as delay-tolerant networks and device-todevice communications heavily relies on the cooperation of mobile nodes (i.e., users and their carried devices). However, selfish nodes may refuse to relay data to others or share their resources with them due to various reasons, such as resource limitations or social preferences. Meanwhile, misbehaving nodes can launch different types of internal attacks (e.g., blackhole and trustrelated attacks) to disrupt the normal operation of the network. Numerous mechanisms have been recently proposed to establish secure and efficient communications in WRNs in the presence of selfish and malicious nodes (referred as non-cooperative WRNs). In this paper, we present an in-depth survey on human-centric communication challenges and solutions in the non-cooperative WRNs that focuses on: (1) an overview of the non-cooperative WRNs and introduction to various types of node selfish and malicious behaviors, (2) the impact analysis of node selfish and malicious behaviors on the performance of data forwarding and distribution, (3) selfish and malicious node detection and defense systems, and (4) incentive mechanisms. Finally, we discuss several open problems and future research challenges.

“…The heterogeneity of cellular and Wi-Fi interfaces are effectively utilized to deliver data to mobile devices in [5]. Cooperative content delivery to mobile devices is developed in [6] by taking into account the link quality of both cellular and WiFi interfaces, where a device with the best link quality is preferred in the cooperative system. The scenario of delivering same content to a group of users by using unicast cellular and D2D links is considered in [7].…”

Utilizing device-to-device (D2D) connections among mobile devices is promising to meet the increasing throughput demand over cellular links. In particular, when mobile devices are in close proximity of each other and are interested in the same content, D2D connections such as Wi-Fi Direct can be opportunistically used to construct a cooperative (and jointly operating) cellular and D2D networking system. However, it is crucial to understand, quantify, and exploit the potential of network coding for cooperating mobile devices in the joint cellular and D2D setup. In this paper, we consider this problem, and (i) develop a network coding framework, namely NCMI, for cooperative mobile devices in the joint cellular and D2D setup, where cellular and D2D link capacities are the same, and (ii) characterize the performance of the proposed network coding framework, where we use packet completion time, which is the number of transmission slots to recover all packets, as a performance metric. We demonstrate the benefits of our network coding framework through simulations.

“…In heterogenous cooperative wireless networks, the proper design of incentive mechanisms is crucial in order to motivate users to participate in collaborations such as for offloading traffic. Broadly speaking, the different forms of incentives that can be used to encourage users in a network to cooperate can be classified as (a) monetary [1], [23] and (b) non-monetary incentives [24], [25] which we review next.…”

Cooperative content delivery using multiple air interfaces (CCDMI) is a powerful solution to mitigate congestion in cellular networks. In CCDMI, the operator distributes content to selected users that further distribute it locally among its nearby users. However, a user that is capable of contributing to CCDMI might act selfishly and refuse to participate. Although the operator can encourage user participation by offering incentives, it has incomplete information about users' willingness to participate. In order to overcome this problem of adverse selection in CCDMI, we propose two contract-based methods under information asymmetry. In both methods, the operator designs a performance based contract set for the users that are capable of local content distribution. Using mathematical analysis, we show that the optimal contract under information asymmetry achieves close to optimal utility for the users and the operator, compared to the information symmetry case. Moreover, the users with high willingness to participate get positive utility and the users with low willingness get zero utility. Hence, by assigning contracts, the operator can motivate user participation, despite the information asymmetry between them. Our results verify that the proposed methods improve the system performance in terms of the utility of the operator and the users.
