Abstract

Limited onboard battery power is being a major constraint in operation of a mobile ad hoc network. If stricter provisions are not imposed, nodes tend to show selfish behavior in packet forwarding. At the same time, redemption procedure should be proclaimed so that the efficient network services can be ensured. Taking all these aspects in view, we propose a novel reputation establishing and activeness calculation method. Incorporating this method, we propose a mechanism based on game theory and reputation system which not only enforce cooperation but also induce collaboration among nodes. This mechanism is built on strategy which in turn is derived from trust and activity level of nodes. Genetic algorithm is employed for evolution of these strategies. Simulation result shows that this mechanism prevents selfish behavior and induces collaboration among nodes.
