Cooperation in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Overview In wireless ad hoc networks, nodes communicate with far off destinations using intermediate nodes as relays. Since wireless nodes are energy constrained, it may not be in the best interest of a node to always accept relay requests. On the other hand, if all nodes decide not to expend energy in relaying, then network throughput will drop dramatically. Both these extreme scenarios (complete cooperation and complete non-cooperation) are inimical to the interests of a user. This paper addresses the issue of user cooperation in ad hoc networks. The paper assumes that nodes are rational, i.e., their actions are strictly determined by self interest, and that each node is associated with a minimum lifetime constraint.
