Abstract(in English) A tethering function allows phones or tablets to share their Internet connections (bandwidth) with other devices such as laptops. In order to improve total utility in all users who share such connections, a cost sharing method for tethering environments has been proposed. Since this method only improve the total utility, there is no guarantee that all users satisfy their shared cost decided by the method in [2]. Moreover, the pricing boundary that divides the parameter space into tethering or roaming areas has not been analyzed yet. In this paper, we propose an optimal cost sharing scheme that uses cooperative game theory to ensure all users are satisfied when they choose a tethering connection. Moreover, we analyze the costs of users when an overhead exists. These analyses theoretically describe the boundary of appropriate prices.
