In the conventional wireless networks such as mobile networks and sensor networks, the actions are often carried out based on the cooperation between the nodes. In such networks, every node plays the role of host nodes along with the role of network infrastructure. On the one hand it sends its data and on the other hand leads the other packages of nodes. The network we aim to study is not a conventional one, it rather has logical nodes and theses nodes decide whether to cooperate freely or not. According to the fact that the leading of other packages has some costs for the nodes, the logical nodes tend not to lead to the data traffic of the other ones. Therefore, we aim to model and analyze the cooperation of nodes using the game theory. Then, we will present a strategy to stimulate the nodes to work with each other
