This paper considers the situation in which independent operators of individual queues may cooperate to generate a win-win solution through capacity transferring among each other. Two different types of costs are considered: the congestion cost incurred by customers in the system and the capacity transferring cost. We first model the capacity transferring problem as one to minimize the total cost. We then formulate the cooperation problem as a cooperative game and design a cost allocation scheme which is proven to be in the core of the game.
