GoSharing: An intelligent incentive framework based on users’ association for cooperative content sharing in mobile edge networks

In most metropolises, commuters spend a considerable amount of time on public transport, and many of them entertain themselves with the content (like music or videos) on their mobile devices to alleviate boredom. Currently, the content, usually shared in co-located wireless networks to avoid huge monetary cost of using cellular data, is delivered from single host (resource owner) to single request user, which brings low transmission quality, due to the uncertainty of mobile edge networks in public transport environments.
