In self-organizing ad hoc networks, all the networking functions rely on the contribution of the
participants. As a basic example, nodes have to forward packets for each other in order to …

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 …

The advance in wireless technologies makes now viable to start to develop ad hoc networks.
However, without a mechanism that prevents misbehaviors, these networks could result …

A wireless Ad-hoc network is expected to be made up of energy aware entities (nodes)
interested in their own perceived performance. An important problem in such a scenario is to …

In military and rescue applications of mobile ad hoc networks, all the nodes belong to the
same authority; therefore, they are motivated to cooperate in order to support the basic …

The application of mathematical analysis to the study of wireless ad hoc networks has met
with limited success due to the complexity of mobility and traffic models, the dynamic …

The assumption that all nodes cooperate to relay packets for each other may not be realistic
for commercial wireless ad hoc networks. An autonomous (selfish) node in a wireless …

In many applications, wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by devices belonging to
independent users. Therefore, a challenging problem is how to provide incentives to …

We study topology control problems in ad hoc networks, where network nodes get to choose
their power levels in order to ensure desired connectivity properties. Unlike most other work …

This paper focuses on the formal assessment of the properties of cooperation enforcement
mechanisms used to detect and prevent selfish behavior of nodes forming a mobile ad hoc …
