Handling Selfishness over Collaborative Mechanism in a Mobile Ad hoc Network

Major constraint of Mobile ad hoc networks is unpredictable mobility and limited resources like energy consumption which may ultimately end in failure of network connectivity and performance deterioration. Almost all of the suggested techniques presume that every nodes share their memory space with full collaboration. But in realism, few nodes selfishly decide either to cooperate partially only with other nodes, or not at all. Thus, a advanced collaborative mechanism based on dissemination of selfish node awareness is suggested. Numerical results reveal that such mechanism results in better improvement in performance.
