Abstract
In this chapter, the optimization of relay service for MSNs is studied. In MSNs, each user has his own virtual currency and can earn currency as a relay for other users. A bundle carrier selects relay users based on his current resource usage. A bargain game is employed to model the transaction pricing between the bundle carrier and the relay user, which leads to a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium as the agreement of two players to maximize their benefits. The simulation shows that the proposed scheme can efficiently improve both delivery ratio and delay performance in MSNs with an optimal relay service.
