In multihop cellular networks, the mobile nodes usually relay others' packets for enhancing
the network performance and deployment. However, selfish nodes usually do not cooperate …

Recent years have witnessed tremendous success and popularity of mobile applications
and services, resulting in an explosive growth in the number of mobile devices, as well as in …

The increased popularity and usage of wireless technologies has opened the doors for new
emerging applications in the domain of networking. One emerging and promising areas is …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that form a
dynamic network without the need for any infrastructure. Due to the dynamic nature of …

This paper studies cooperative techniques that rely on femtocell user diversity to improve the
downlink communication quality of macrocell users. We analytically derive and evaluate the …

Cooperative communication with spectrum sharing has been proved to be an efficient way to
reduce energy consumption. In this work, an optimal power allocation algorithm is proposed …

Key distribution mechanisms such as PKI or PGP implicitly assume trust to be transitive. This
can be a problematic assumption. The user relies indirectly (often implicitly) on the remote …

Heterogenous network (HetNet) is a promising solution to meet an ever-increasing demand
of wireless applications. However, it is a significant challenge for Mobile Network Operators …

We propose a fair and efficient incentive mechanism to stimulate the node cooperation. Our
mechanism applies a fair charging policy by charging the source and destination nodes …

In multihop cellular networks mobile nodes typically transmit packets during intermediate
mobile nodes for enhancing recital. Stingy nodes typically don't collaborate that incorporates …
