Future Wireless Networks

• Emerging networks– Cellular networks in a shared spectrum– Hybrid ad hoc networks (also called “Multi-hop

cellular networks”)– Small operators, community networks – Mesh networks– Cognitive radio communication– “Autonomous” ad hoc networks– Vehicular networks– Sensor and RFID networks

• Emerging properties– Centralized → Distributed– More sophisticated user devices– Self(ish)-organization

Packet forwarding in ad hoc networks

Dependency: the benefit of each source is dependent on the behavior of its forwarders

dependency loop

Corollary 2: If Theorem 3 holds for every node, it is a Nash-equilibrium.

Theorem 3 (simplified): Assuming that node i is a forwarder, its behavior will be cooperative only if it has a dependency loop with each of its sources

Example in which Corollary 2 holds:

BUT

Simulation results → in general, Corollary 2 does not hold

• Game G = (Players, Strategy, Utility function)

• Players: operators

• Strategy: radio range of base stations

• Utility: useful coverage of their pilot signal:

• power control of the pilot signal

• users attach to the base station with the best pilot signal:

Conclusion

• Cooperation is usually assumed → selfishness can degrade network performance

• Selfish or malicious ? → different mechanisms• In general, incentives for cooperation are needed
