ANALYZING PACKET FORWARDING MECHANISM IN ADHOC NETWORKS USING GAME THEORY

Shabana Sultana, Dr. C. Vidya Raj

Abstract :

A wireless ad hoc network is characterized by a distributed, dynamic self organizing architecture. Each node in the network is capable of independently adapting its operation based on the current environment according to predetermined algorithms and protocols. Analytical models to evaluate the performance of ad hoc networks have been scarce due to the distributed and dynamic nature of such networks. Game theory offers a suite of tools that may be used effectively in modeling the interaction among independent nodes in an ad hoc network. In this paper, firstly we iefly introduce game theory; secondly we show that a strong mapping exists between traditional game theory components and the elements of an ad hoc network routing. In the final section of the paper we present a typical game theoretic model for analyzing selfishness in forwarding packets.
