A novel, holistic approach to cooperation incentivization in multihop wireless ad hoc networks is introduced. The concept utilizes a reputation metric to tailor a response to rational nodes’ behavior and thus promote cooperation while balancing network traffic among network nodes and protecting well-behaving nodes from excessive network load. The solution aims at deterring selfish optimization techniques which may result in network-wide Path Delivery Ratio (PDR) degradation.
