We formulate the problem as a two-tier game named as inter-cell We formulate the problem as a two-tier game named as inter-cell game and intra-cell game, respectively. We study the two-tier game game and intra-cell game, respectively. We study the two-tier game in details and analyze the existence and property of the Nash in details and analyze the existence and property of the Nash equilibria of the proposed games.equilibria of the proposed games.

We analyze the structure of Nash equilibria and find some We analyze the structure of Nash equilibria and find some interesting properties: interesting properties: load balance, load regulating, connecting load balance, load regulating, connecting directingdirecting etc. etc.
