ETR gameETRsEach player hopes to find the optimal charging power offered to its associating VAP to maximize its individual profit.The utility of any player is computed by formula (6).

VAP gameVAPsEach player hopes to find the optimal forwarding power to offer data forwarding service for its associating UEs to maximize its individual profit.The utility of any player is computed by formula (13).

Stackelberg gameMBS ETRs VAPsThe MBS hopes to obtain the maximum forwarding traffic from the VAPs but just wants to pay the minimum price of energy.The utility of the MBS is computed by formula (17).
