Optimal Incentive Pricing on Relaying Services for Maximizing Connection Availability in Multihop Cellular Networks

Table 3

Comparison of connection availability of the networks by three methods in the simulation space of (width, height) = (100 units, 100 units).

Number of mobile nodes	CAFR	CALB	CA𝑃	(CA𝑃−CAFR)/CAFR	(CA𝑃−CALB)/CALB	Average path length
32	0.47898643	0.48730129	0.53038439	10.82%	8.88%	1.0840542
64	0.48652063	0.49130662	0.51966696	6.87%	5.81%	1.0539176
128	0.49012412	0.49131695	0.51875024	5.88%	5.62%	1.0395036

CA_FR: connection availability of the networks from the fixed-rate pricing scheme.
CA_LB: connection availability of the networks from the location-based pricing scheme.
CA_𝑃: connection availability of the networks from the proposed pricing scheme.
