A Network Reliability Game
Abstract
In an ad hoc network, accessing a point depends on the participation of other, intermediate, nodes. Each node behaving selfishly, we end up with a non-cooperative game where each node incurs a cost for providing a reliable connection but whose success depends not only on its own reliability investment but also on the investment of nodes which can be on a path to the access point. Our purpose here is to formally define and analyze such a game: existence of an equilibrium output, comparison with the optimal cooperative case, etc.
