… From this model, steady-state conditions known as Nash equilibria can be identified. Before
describing the Nash equilibrium we define the best response of a player as an action that …

In multi-hop wireless networks, every node is expected to forward packets for the benefit of
other nodes. Yet, if each node is its own authority, then it may selfishly deny packet …

… In this paper, we address the issue of user cooperation in ad hoc networks. We assume that
… We show that GTFT results in a Nash equilibrium and prove that the system converges to …

… We consider an energy-aware ad hoc network consisting of N potential transmitting nodes
and a predetermined destination node, where each node is equipped with a single antenna …

… Nash equilibrium provided the focal equilibrium … wireless ad hoc network where a source
node, S, has a data packet to be sent to a destination node that is located outside of its wireless …

… Abstract—In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), tasks are conducted based on the
cooperation of nodes in the networks. … Based on the global balance equations [44], we can get …

… Comparison Studies To further illustrate the meaning of contention region and the impact
of interference, we compare the equilibrium resource allocations of an ad hoc network with a …
