Abstract:

In order to provide incentive to cooperate for nodes in Ad hoc networks, the incentive to cooperate with each other and to motivate those nodes to reveal their cost of participating in network responsibilities, the destinationdriven Vickrey auction was designed forthe motivation of the cooperation among nodes in Ad hoc networks, which would take advantage of the merit of Vickrey auctions. Meanwhile, the incurred cost of nodes for forwarding packets was taken into account explicitly. The costeffective path was determined through the series of auctions carried out by intermediate nodes in path from destination to source. Theoretic analysis proves that thismechanism can motivate nodes reveal forwarding cost truthfully, and can achieve the objective of cost efficiency in routing selection.

Key words: Ad hoc network, incentive mechanism, Vickrey auction;energy efficiency
