Abstract:
 Nowadays, the growing demand for group-oriented services over
 mobile devices has lead to the definition of new communication
 standards and multimedia applications in cellular systems.
 In this article we study the use of game theoretic solutions
 for these services to model and perform a trade-off analysis
 between fairness and efficiency in the resources allocation.
 More precisely, we model bargaining solutions for the multicast
 data services provisioning and introduce the analytical resolution
 for the proposed solutions.
