| Abstract | With the multi-fold development in communication technology, there has been a rapid growth in consumption of multimedia services using mobile devices. In particular, lots of research has been done to provide multimedia services using a 3G/WLAN dual mode to mobile device users. All users download contents from content providers through cellular networks and can share their contents with their neighbors. This may lead to a situation where the cost of receiving multimedia contents is reduced owing to contents sharing. In other words, users effectively reduce the cost of receiving contents as they share some contents with neighbors. However, we believe that selfish users (or users with limited resources) are not willing to cooperate or share their contents with other users. In this paper, we propose an incentive scheme that gives the benefit of contents sharing to users in a 3G/WLAN dual mode supporting network. There are two types of users; premium users and ordinary users. Premium users can get high quality contents at the expense of spending their own money and resources of power and bandwidth, while ordinary users receive plain quality contents freely or with paying little amount of money. Our incentive mechanism designs the content provider to offer each premium user a discounted price for downloading high quality contents. Through our approach, each premium user will receive some incentive of a discounted price for receiving high quality contents in proportion to the contribution to the content provider. By doing so, the content provider can increase its total utility too. Our simulation results confirm that our proposed incentive scheme performs well. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
