Abstract

Cooperation of nodes for routing and packet forwarding is inevitable in a mobile ad hoc network. Selfishness in such networks is a significant challenge and can cause network performance to noticeably degrade. In this paper, we propose some new selfishness models elicited from psychological behavior of human beings. We also evaluate performance of MANET in the presence of different percentages of selfish nodes that act based on our selfishness models. Results show that energy-based selfishness is a serious problem that could affect performance depends on mobility of nodes, density of network, and time of simulation. This kind of selfishness needs a comprehensive mechanism to cope with and we have planned to publish such mechanism in early future.
