The degree of participation concept in ad hoc networks
Youssef Iraqi, Raouf Boutaba · 2004
The paper introduces the novel concept of degree-of-participation (DP) in mobile ad hoc networks. The degree-of-participation concept allows nodes in the ad hoc network to express the level of involvement they are willing to give to the forwarding process. The paper also introduces a DP-based routing scheme for mobile ad hoc networks. Performance evaluations show that the degree-of-participation allows a more resource-aware forwarding process.
