TWOACK: preventing selfishness in mobile ad hoc networks

摘要: Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) operate on the basic underlying assumption that all participating nodes fully collaborate in self-organizing functions. However, performing network functions consumes energy and other resources. Therefore, some may decide against cooperating with others. Providing these selfish nodes, also termed misbehaving an incentive to cooperate has been active research area recently. In this paper, we propose two network-layer acknowledgment-based schemes, TWOACK S-TWOACK which can be simply added-on any source routing protocol. The scheme detects such then seeks alleviate problem by notifying protocol avoid them future routes. Details of schemes our evaluation results based simulations are presented paper. We have found that, a where up 40% misbehaving, 20% improvement packet delivery ratio, reasonable additional overhead.
