Nowadays, wireless networks are witnessing several deployments in various extreme
environments where they suffer from different levels of link disruptions depending on the …

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), nodes usually cooperate and forward each other's
packets in order to enable out of range communication. However, in hostile environments …

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 …

Covering the fundamental theory together with the state of the art in research and
development, this practical guide provides the techniques needed to design, analyze, and …

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 packet-forwarding networks with selfish nodes, application of a repeated game
can induce the nodes to forward each others' packets, so that the network performance can …

The trust management mechanism can used to establish cooperation relationship between
nodes and decrease risk caused by the information interaction. In this paper, we propose a …

As a new networking paradigm, opportunistic networking communications have great vision
in animal migration tracking, mobile social networking, network communications in remote …

Game theory has been used for decades in fields of science such as economics and
biology, but recently it was used to model routing and packet forwarding in wireless ad-hoc …

In a delay tolerant network (DTN) the nodes may behave autonomously deciding on their
own whether to implement or not the rules of a routing algorithm. In this paper, the effects of …
