Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are collections of self-organizing mobile nodes with dynamic topologies and no fixed infrastructure [1, 2]. Cooperation among nodes is fundamental to the function of a MANET. However, nodes in a MANET are autonomous and independent wireless devices. Due to the lack of infrastructure, the constraints of resources at each node, and the ad hoc nature of nodes, we cannot assume that every node behaves as the protocol requires. This chapter presents a detailed study on the recent advances in stimulating cooperation in MANETs. Virtual currency systems and reputation systems are described, followed by a discussion of the directions for future research.
