Multi Incentive Based Mechanism for Data Sharing In Delay Tolerant Mobile Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we present effective schemes to estimate the expected credit reward, and formulate nodal communication as a two-person cooperative game, whose solution is found by using our Theorem. Extensive simulations are carried out based on real-world traces to evaluate the proposed scheme in terms of data delivery rate, delay and overhead. To our best knowledge, this is the first work that incorporates incentive stimulation into data dissemination in delay-tolerant mobile networks with selfish nodes and multiple interest types.
