Some Game-Theoretic Problems in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

چکیده
Wireless Ad-hoc networks are expected to be made up of energy aware entities (nodes) interested in their own perceived performance. We consider a simple random access model for a wireless ad hoc network to address problems of finding an optimal channel access rate and providing incentive for cooperation to forward other nodes’ traffic. By casting these problems as noncooperative games, we derive conditions for the Nash equilibrium and provide distributed algorithms to learn the Nash equilibrium.

Frugal Routing on Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks
We study game-theoretic mechanisms for routing in ad-hoc networks. Game-theoretic mechanisms capture the non-cooperative and selfish behavior of nodes in a resource-constrained environment. There have been some recent proposals to use incentive-based mechanisms (in particular, VCG) for routing in wireless ad-hoc networks, and some frugality bounds are known when the connectivity graph is essent...
متن کاملUsing Game Theory to Classify Wireless Ad Hoc Network Attacks with Analysis on Countermeasures
Game theory has been receiving immense concern to deal with attacks in wireless ad hoc networks, which are widely employed in a large range of applications but vulnerable to various attacks. Previous works provided readers with comprehensive understanding of game theoretic solutions on cyber security problems. However, they neglect the relationship between attack characteristics and the corresp...
متن کاملLEBRP - A Lightweight and Energy Balancing Routing Protocol for Energy-Constrained Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
A wireless ad hoc network typically refers to any set of wireless networks where all devices have equal status on a network and are free to associate with any other wireless ad hoc network devices in their range. As the nature of these networks, they commonly do not have external power supplies, and each node has a limited internal power source. In this paper, we put forward a new routing proto...
متن کاملA New Intrusion Detection System to deal with Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
By extending wireless networks and because of their different nature, some attacks appear in these networks which did not exist in wired networks. Security is a serious challenge for actual implementation in wireless networks. Due to lack of the fixed infrastructure and also because of security holes in routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, these networks are not protected against attack...
متن کاملEvaluation of a BIBD Based Directional MAC Protocol for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
The use of directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve global performance due to a high spatial channel reuse. Nevertheless, its introduction poses new location dependent problems related to the MAC protocol. In this paper, the Balanced Incomplete Block Design theory has been exploited to develop a new MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks using directional ant...
