Rapid growth in mobile data traffic and technological improvements in mobile devices revealed the concept of collaborative Internet access via User Provided Networks (UPN). According to this approach, users with strong cellular connection share their own connections with other users that have limited or no cellular connection. However, in such services, one of the key issues is the users' willingness to contribute. In this study, we propose a novel incentive mechanism based on Rubinstein's sequential bargaining model. In the proposed scheme, incentives are given by the mobile network operator as virtual currencies, according to the bargaining of users and experienced quality of service. Decisions of users for requesting or offering UPN services depend on energy cost and utility estimations according to the actual communication signal parameters. For this purpose, we introduce realistic energy consumption and data rate models after performing extensive set of experiments and applying various regression methods. We implement the proposed system in a real environment and show its effectiveness in various scenarios.

移动数据流量的快速增长和移动设备的技术进步揭示了通过用户提供的网络（UPN）进行协作Internet访问的概念。根据这种方法，具有强蜂窝连接的用户与蜂窝连接有限或没有的其他用户共享他们自己的连接。但是，在此类服务中，关键问题之一是用户的贡献意愿。在这项研究中，我们提出了一种基于鲁宾斯坦的顺序议价模型的新型激励机制。在提出的方案中，根据用户的议价和经验丰富的服务质量，移动网络运营商将奖励作为虚拟货币。用户请求或提供UPN服务的决定取决于能源成本和根据实际通信信号参数的效用估算。为此，在进行了广泛的实验并应用了各种回归方法之后，我们引入了现实的能耗和数据速率模型。我们在实际环境中实施建议的系统，并在各种情况下显示其有效性。
