Abstract
In an ad hoc, arbitrarily formed peer to peer (P2P) network system, each user can select one of the services offered by multiple neighbor stations to have an access to the network. Every user has a preference function to determine a service to use, which is described as a total willingness to pay based on the bandwidth and the duration of using a service. In our study, we developed a market-based model for a user to determine a service in order to maximize the user’s surplus. Our model allows a station to connect another station without reconnection as long as it wants or possible. By employing our model, stations of providing a service can offer a competitive pricing based on durations of connections such as a discount for their users to use it longer. The pricing of this kind is also preferable for both users and providers. In addition, based on our model, we developed an algorithm for a station to determine a way of making a connection to the network. We simulated some scenarios of ad hoc P2P wireless networks by using the algorithm. We found that the formed network is more efficient than former ceaselessly reconnecting networks in terms of the connectivity to get a certain QoS.
