TLDR
The model incorporates incentives for users to act as transit nodes on multi-hop paths and to be rewarded with their own ability to send traffic and illustrates the way in which network resources are allocated to users according to their geographical position.
Abstract
This paper explores a model for the operation of an ad hoc mobile network. The model incorporates incentives for users to act as transit nodes on multi-hop paths and to be rewarded with their own ability to send traffic. The paper explores consequences of the model by means of fluid-level simulations of a network and illustrates the way in which network resources are allocated to users according to their geographical position.

Coalition Games with Cooperative Transmission: A Cure for the Curse of Boundary Nodes in Selfish Packet-Forwarding Wireless Networks

TL;DR: In this article, an approach based on coalition games is proposed, in which the boundary nodes can use cooperative transmission to help the backbone nodes in the middle of the network, in return, the backbone node is willing to forward the boundary node's packets.

Channel-relay price pair: towards arbitrating incentives in wireless ad hoc networks

TL;DR: This paper presents a price pair mechanism to arbitrate resource allocation and to provide incentives simultaneously such that cooperation is promoted and the desired global optimal network operating point is reached by convergence with a fully decentralized self-optimizing algorithm.

A Game-theoretic Cooperation Stimulus Routing Protocol in MANETs

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel price-based method for stimulating cooperation among the nodes of a MANET that utilizes the game-theoretic notion of core to distribute the earnings of a cooperation coalition among its members in an optimal manner.

Sharing airtime with Shair avoids wasting time and money

TL;DR: Shair is a system allowing contracted mobile phone users to benefit from their unused quota minutes and text messages through opportunistic local connectivity, allowing other Shair users to use sharers' phones within reach of short range radio such as Bluetooth.

Trust Management in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

TL;DR: This chapter considers the rationale for trust management systems by demonstrating the shortcomings of secure routing protocols and incentive-based systems, and analyzes and compares recently proposed and few well-reviewed trust management based models for MANET.

Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) Routing

TL;DR: A logging instrument contains a pulsed neutron source and a pair of radiation detectors spaced along the length of the instrument to provide an indication of formation porosity which is substantially independent of the formation salinity.

The capacity of wireless networks

TL;DR: When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at W bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput /spl lambda/(n) obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is /spl Theta/(W//spl radic/(nlogn)) bits persecond under a noninterference protocol.

Rate control for communication networks: shadow prices, proportional fairness and stability

TL;DR: This paper analyses the stability and fairness of two classes of rate control algorithm for communication networks, which provide natural generalisations to large-scale networks of simple additive increase/multiplicative decrease schemes, and are shown to be stable about a system optimum characterised by a proportional fairness criterion.

Mobility increases the capacity of ad hoc wireless networks

TL;DR: The per-session throughput for applications with loose delay constraints, such that the topology changes over the time-scale of packet delivery, can be increased dramatically under this assumption, and a form of multiuser diversity via packet relaying is exploited.
