DRinK: a defense strategy of cooperative wireless terminals in a wireless multihoming environment
Article No.: 83, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
In a wireless multihoming environment, each of a number of wireless terminals (WTs) can access multiple wireless networks (WNs). The lack of tight administrative control over the WTs gives rise to their potential selfishness oriented towards a self-defined utility (usually derived from long-term received bandwidth). We take the behavioral target approach, which consists in defining cooperative behavior that is considered desirable from the point of view of some system-wide objective, and building into the behavior of cooperative WTs a strategy to discourage a selfish WT. We present a strategy called Defense via Responding in Kind (DRinK) and evaluate its performance via simulation of contention-type WNs and WTs generating elastic traffic, elastic traffic with a minimum throughput requirement, and real-time traffic.
