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

Table 4

Comparison of connection availability of the networks by three methods in the simulation space of (width, height) = (200 units, 200 units).

Number of mobile nodes	CAFR	CALB	CA𝑃	(CA𝑃−CAFR)/CAFR	(CA𝑃−CALB)/CALB	Average path length
32	0.22764841	0.23610142	0.53722796	138.12%	130.04%	2.6502985

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.
