This paper discusses a new perspective for the application of game theory to wireless relay
networks, namely, how to employ it not only as an analytical evaluation instrument, but also …

Ad hoc networks rely on the cooperation of the nodes participating in the network to forward
packets for each other. A node may decide not to cooperate to save its resources while still …

Ad hoc networking is a new paradigm of wireless communications for mobile nodes. Mobile
ad hoc networks work properly only if the partecipating nodes cooperate to network …

Cooperative communication (CC) is a technique that exploits spatial diversity allowing
multiple nodes to cooperatively relay signals to the receiver so that it can combine the …

In this paper we propose two methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the CORE mechanism
based on a cooperative game approach and a non-cooperative game approach: the results …

Cooperative diversity is proposed to combat the detrimental effects of channel fading. In this
paper, we investigate the effectiveness of cooperative diversity in interference limited ad hoc …

In this paper, symbol-error-rate (SER) performance analysis and optimum power allocation
are provided for uncoded cooperative communications in wireless networks with either …

This paper deals with throughput scaling laws for random ad hoc wireless networks in a rich
scattering environment. We develop schemes to optimize the ratio lambda (n) of achievable …

We study a finite population of mobiles communicating using the slotted ALOHA-type
protocol. Our objective is the study of coordination between the mobiles in both cooperative …

Abstract Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) rely on the cooperation of nodes for packet
routing and forwarding. Much of the existing work in MANETs assume that mobile nodes …
