A New Cooperation Model for Dynamic Networks

Abstract

Technologies evolution revealed new types of dynamic networks with decentralized architectures and autonomous services. Research on this impressive area has provided great objectives and benefits. However, providing some services related to security and routing protocols are a major problem in this domain. All nodes in the networks need to cooperate and relay packets for other nodes, but some misbehavior nodes due to selfish reasons may significantly reduce the network performances. Because they use the network resources only for their own purpose and not share them between neighbors. In this paper, a novel technique of enforcement cooperation is proposed. It aims to control the role of each node in the network and evaluate their participation during the routing function. The model includes important features that force nodes cooperating and discard the selfish ones. Simulation results showed that the proposed model is very efficient to detect and remove misbehavior nodes and enhance cooperation between nodes while routing data.
