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 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 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 …

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 an ad-hoc network, intermediate nodes on a communication path are expected to forward
packets of other nodes so that the mobile nodes can communicate beyond their 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 …

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 …

In wireless ad hoc networks, nodes communicate with far off destinations using intermediate
nodes as relays. Since wireless nodes are energy constrained, it may not be in the best …

This paper examines the problem of incentivizing autonomous, self-interested nodes in an
ad hoc network to cooperate in forwarding packets between non-adjacent nodes. We argue …

We deal with energy efficiency and quality of service provisioning in multihop ad hoc
wireless networks. We assume that each node generates traffic for some other node in the …
