Game theory (GT) is a mathematical method that describes the phenomenon of conflict and
cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers. In particular, the theory has been …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent complex distributed systems that comprise
wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self-organize into arbitrary and …

A repeated game is an effective tool to model interactions and conflicts for players aiming to
achieve their objectives in a long-term basis. Contrary to static noncooperative games that …

Transmit power in wireless cellular networks is a key degree of freedom in the management
of interference, energy, and connectivity. Power control in both the uplink and downlink of a …

In this survey, we summarize different modeling and solution concepts of networking games,
as well as a number of different applications in telecommunications that make use of or can …

We develop a model to study the phenomenon of free-riding in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems.
At the heart of our model is a user of a certain type, an intrinsic and private parameter that …

Lack of cooperation (free riding) is one of the key problems that confronts today's P2P
systems. What makes this problem particularly difficult is the unique set of challenges that …

Trust is an important concept in human interactions which facilitates the formation and
continued existence of functional human societies. In the first decade of the 21st century …

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 …

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 …
