Abstract(in English) The important increase in wireless network traffic and especially in wireless data has become a big challenge for mobile operators. One of the current and most efficient strategies to handle this issue is the femtocell technology, which now has drawn the interest of main concerned actors as for manufacturers, operators, and researchers. In this paper, our main motivation was to address the macro-femto heterogeneous networks deployment issue from the economic side, as the assessment of the technological side has been already investigated by many studies. Thus, we aimed to propose a pricing strategy for such kind of macro-femto networks with a user centric vision where users would have the choice to access one of the networks based on the proposed service price when he is accessing it. Our scheme will be then evaluated using the user?s satisfaction as a metric.
