Traffic control under scarce resources in wireless networks - a game-based approach

Abstract

Typically, in order to organize the traffic in networks, some routing protocol is involved to establish and maintain paths for data flow. In the light of routing limitations in wireless environments, particularly restrictive when low power nodes are involved in a dynamic environment, the paper presents a different approach to organize the network traffic. In the proposed solution each node takes an independent and selfish decision about forwarding the data as a result of a game between the nodes.
