Abstract:Ad hoc mobile networks are peer-to-peer systems whose successful operation depends on the nodes contributing the resources of their device. Nodes rely on portable energy sources, for example batteries, to transmit to each other. For the network to function, either the nodes willingly cooperate or their behaviour is influenced by an incentive mechanism.
Building on work by Latouche and Taylor (2009) and assuming finite capacity buffers, we model each user's battery energy and credit balance as fluids,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
