摘      要：Evidences indicate that,due to the limited caching capacity or inaccurate estimation on users’preferences,the requested files may not be fully cached in the network *** transmissions of the un-cached files will also lead to duplicated transmissions on backhaul ***-aided relay has been proposed to improve the transmission performance of the un-cached *** of the limited buffer capacity and the information asymmetric environment,how to allocate the limited buffer capacity and how to incentivize users in participating buffer-aided relay have become critical *** this work,an incentive scheme based on the contract theory is ***,the backlog violation probability,i.e.,the buffer overflow probability,is provided based on the martingale ***,based on the backlog violation probability,the utility functions of the relay node and users are *** the purpose to maximize the utility of the relay node,the optimal contract problem is ***,the feasibility of the contract is also demonstrated,and the optimal solution can be obtained by the interior point ***,numerical results are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed contract theory scheme.
