Cooperation in Decentralised Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new model of cooperation between autonomous participants in decentralised networks. Our approach is based on reciprocation between immediate neighbours, which does not require any centralised infrastructure for accounting or identity management. We describe the conditions that are necessary for reciprocation to occur, and show how reciprocation between immediate neighbours can support multi-hop interactions such as packet forwarding.

Cedex Discussion Paper Series Networks and Markets the Dynamic Impacts of Information, Matching and Transaction Costs on Trade *
The purpose of this paper is to explore strategic incentives to use trade networks rather than markets and shed light on the dynamic relation between the two distinct trading systems: a formal system of markets and a decentralised system of networks. We investigate the issues in the infinitely repeated multi-player prisoner’s dilemma game with random matching. The existing literature emphasises...
متن کاملModeling Cooperation between Nodes in Wireless Networks by APD Game
Cooperation is the foundation of many protocols in wireless networks. Without cooperation, the performance of a network significantly decreases. Hence, all nodes in traditional networks are required to cooperate with each other. In this paper, instead of traditional networks, a network of rational and autonomous nodes is considered, which means that each node itself can decide whe...

متن کاملSecuring Multicast Groups in Ad Hoc Networks
Group communication in multicast environment has been a growing importance in ad hoc networks, and providing secure communication in the group is essential in many ad hoc applications. A common way of securing multicast group is to establish a cryptographic key known only to the group members. To maintain security, the group key must be updated whenever the group membership changes. A group key...
متن کاملData Fusion in Decentralised Sensing Networks
This paper briefly describes the results of a ten year, and still on-going, research program in decentralised sensing systems. This program covers both the theoretical development of data fusion methods appropriate to networks of decentralised sensors and the practical implementation of these in both civilian and military contexts. The methods employed for studying decentralised data fusion pro...
