In wireless ad hoc networks, nodes communicate with far off destinations using intermediate

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 …

This paper addresses the issue of stimulating cooperative diversity, using the amplify-and-
forward protocol, among selfish nodes in commercial wireless ad hoc networks. For the …

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 hybrid ad hoc network is a structure-based network that is extended using multihop
communications. Indeed, in this kind of network, the existence of a communication link …

Mobile ad-hoc networks are deployed under the assumption that participating nodes are
willing to forward other nodes' packets. In reputation-based mechanisms cooperation is …

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 …

In wireless ad hoc networks one way to incentivize nodes to forward other nodes' packets is
through the use of reputation mechanisms, where cooperation is induced by the threat of …
