Backbone construction in selfish wireless networks
Seungjoon Lee, Dave Levin, Vijay Gopalakrishnan, Bobby Bhattacharjee · 2007
We present a protocol to construct routing backbones in wireless networks composed of selfish participants. Backbones are inherently cooperative, so constructing them in selfish environments is particularly difficult; participants want a backbone to exist (soothers relay their packets) but do not want to join the backbone (so they do not have to relay packets for others).
