Demand for wireless communication services is growing faster than network providers can add capacity. At peak demand, networks must limit service consumption; networks that can support more customers while maintaining quality of service will have an important advantage over their competitors. As a partial solution to this capacity problem, we propose incentivizing cellular network customers to join smaller-scale peer-to-peer WiFi networks. We present a network architecture built around three components: a voluntary participation system that allows switching between the cellular and peer-to-peer networks; our Self-Balancing Supply/Demand protocol for information search and discovery; and a cap-and-trade model for minimizing the total incentives required to support the operation of the peer-to-peer network.
