—In cognitive networks, since nodes generally belong to different authorities and pursue different goals, they will not cooperate with others unless cooperation can improve their...
— Previous results show that a node’s throughput scales poorly as the network size increases when every node has traffic. However, in many cases, only a fraction of nodes in l...

This paper studies the use of pricing as an incentive mechanism to encourage private, self-interested nodes to participate in a public wireless mesh network and cooperate in the p...
Abstract— Sensors typically use wireless transmitters to communicate with each other. However, sensors may be located in a way that they cannot even form a connected network (e.g...
