Mobile ad hoc networking has been an active research area for several years. How to
stimulate cooperation among selfish mobile nodes, however, is not well addressed yet. In …

The proper functioning of mobile ad hoc networks depends on the hypothesis that each
individual node is ready to forward packets for others. This common assumption, however …

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 …

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 …

For ad hoc networks to realize their potential in commercial deployments, it is important that
they incorporate adequate security measures. Selfish behavior of autonomous network …

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), tasks are conducted based on the cooperation of
nodes in the networks. However, since the nodes are usually constrained by limited …

In wireless networks, it is often assumed that each individual wireless terminal will faithfully
follow the prescribed protocols without any deviation--except, perhaps, for a few faulty or …

Countermeasures for node misbehavior and selfishness are mandatory requirements in
MANET. Selfishness that causes lack of node activity cannot be solved by classical security …

We consider the problem of establishing a route and sending packets between a
source/destination pair in ad hoc networks composed of rational selfish nodes whose …

One of the most challenging problems in self-organized mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs),
which consist of autonomous and self-interested nodes, is to stimulate the nodes to …
