Abstract Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs) represent a group of mobile nodes that
constitutes the network deprived of any pre-established infrastructure. In MANETs, the …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a group of nodes constituting a network of mobile
nodes without predefined and pre-established architecture where mobile nodes can …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are dynamic mobile networks that can be formed in the
absence of any pre-existing communication infrastructure. In addition to node mobility, a …

In mobile ad hoc networks, cooperation among active mobile nodes is considered to play a
vital role in reliable transmission of data. But, the selfish mobile nodes present in an ad hoc …

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 …

Nodes in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are mandated to utilize their limited energy
resources in forwarding routing control and data packets for other nodes. Since a MANET …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-organized system comprised by multiple mobile
wireless nodes. The node misbehavior due to selfish reasons can significantly diminish the …

Mobile ad hoc networks rely on the cooperation of nodes for routing and forwarding.
However, individual nodes may not always be willing to cooperate. In order thus to stimulate …

Generally, the ad hoc networks work correctly only if all nodes cooperate in the routing and
forwarding of the packets. However, in some cases, selfish nodes are hesitated to share the …

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 …
