  -In this paper, a novel resource allocation scheme based on discrete
Cournot-Nash equilibria and optimal transport theory is proposed. The
originality of this framework lies in the joint optimization of downlink
bandwidth allocation and cooperation between base stations. A tractable
formalization is given in the form of a quadratic optimization problem. A low
complexity approximate solution is derived and theoretically characterized.
Simulations highlight the existence of an optimal working point, that maximizes
user satisfaction ratio and network load. The impact of the network deployment
on the optimum is numerically investigated, thanks to the $\beta$-Ginibre
model. Indeed, base stations are assumed to be drawn according to
$\beta$-Ginibre point processes. Numerical analysis shows that the network
performance increases with $\beta$ going to one.
