چکیده

In Opportunistic Networks the majority of communicationmechanismsmake use of relay nodes for delivering the messages. Any possible unwillingness of the relay nodes to cooperate, can affect gravely the performance of routing protocols and message dissemination techniques. In this paper we propose a framework for analysing cases where the level of cooperation, or the selfishness of nodes, is related to the social ties of the nodes or their mobility patterns. We model selfishness in Heterogeneous Opportunistic Networks and investigate the effect of it in communication performance. Specifically, we analyse and derive expressions for important metrics, namely the message delivery delay, the average power consumption and the message delivery probability. We demonstrate the applicability of our results in various application scenarios and validate their accuracy with simulations on both synthetic and real-world networks.

Impact of Selfishness in Device-to-Device Communication Underlaying Cellular Networks

In a device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular network, user equipment are required to operate cooperatively and unselfishly to transmit data as relays. However, most users more or less behave in a selfish way, which makes user selfishness a key factor that affects the performance of the whole communication system. We focus on the impact of user selfishness on D2D communications...

Energy-aware opportunistic mobile data offloading under full and limited cooperation

Opportunistic networking (a.k.a. device-to-device communication) is considered a feasible means for offloading mobile data traffic. Since mobile nodes are battery-powered, opportunistic networks must be expected to satisfy the user demand without greatly affecting battery lifetime. To address this requirement, this work introduces progressive selfishness, an adaptive and scalable energy-aware a...
