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.

A Model of Autonomous Motion in Ad Hoc Networks to Maximise Area Coverage

TL;DR: A distributed scalable method based on local interactions with minimal sensing and low computational cost whereby the nodes move autonomously (self-deployment) in order to maximise the coverage of the network, while at the same time ensuring that the mobile nodes do not move so far away from each other (thus trivially maximising the coverage) that they become disconnected.

A distributed coalition game model for cooperation in MANETs

TL;DR: A coalition game model for cooperation in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) that aims to mitigate the negative impact of topology changes on node cooperation through coalition formation and shows scalability of the cooperation mechanism with a significant improvement in packet deliverability and control overhead in a wide range of network scenarios.

Equilibria and price of anarchy in parallel relay networks with node pricing

TL;DR: It is shown that the socially optimal traffic allocation can always be induced by an equilibrium where no relay can increase its profit by unilaterally changing its bids, and an unbounded price of anarchy when the marginal cost functions are convex.

Inter-domain pricing: challenges and possible approaches

TL;DR: The list of properties that one would ideally like the inter-domain pricing scheme to satisfy is reviewed, and it is claimed that no mechanism can satisfy all of them together.

Incentive-based control of ad hoc networks: A performance study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate various ways of providing nodes near the edge of the network with preferential treatment in order to improve their credit balance and their throughput, where nodes use credits to pay for the costs of sending their own traffic, and earn credits by forwarding traffic from other nodes.

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.
