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 autonomous mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where each user is its own authority, the
issue of cooperation enforcement must be solved first to enable networking functionalities …

In self-organizing networks, nodes are expected to perform services (such as forwarding
packets) for one another. The design of incentive mechanisms that lead nodes to cooperate …

'Game Theory'is the formal study of conflict and cooperation. The theory is based on a set of
tools that have been developed in order to assist with the modelling and analysis of …

This chapter presents a game theory based routing algorithm that defines the best route
based on the power consumption that each intermediate node will suffer to forward a packet …

Nowadays wireless communications are a very important part of people's life. A significant
role in their development is played by so called ad hoc networks. They inherit the traditional …

An ad hoc wireless network is an infrastructure-less, autonomous system of nodes
connected through wireless links. In many current applications of ad hoc wireless networks …
