ABSTRACT
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located. The nodes are often battery powered and may behave selfishly to preserve power. A promising mechanism to deal with node selfishness is to use reputation methods. In this paper, we discuss some general issues with current reputation methods that are used to mitigate selfish node behavior and propose a simple and efficient Locally Aware Reputation System (LARS) for which the reputation of the nodes is derived by using direct observation. LARS is flexible and can deal with both extreme selfishness and selective selfishness.

Reputation based selfishness prevention techniques for mobile ad-hoc networks
Mobile ad-hoc networks require nodes to cooperate in the relaying of data from source to destination. However, due to their limited resources, selfish nodes may be unwilling to forward packets, which can deteriorate the multi-hop connectivity. Different ...
A cluster-based trust-aware routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks
Routing protocols are the binding force in mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) since they facilitate communication beyond the wireless transmission range of the nodes. However, the infrastructure-less, pervasive, and distributed nature of MANETs renders them ...
Random feedbacks for selfish nodes detection in mobile ad hoc networks
IPOM'05: Proceedings of the 5th IEEE international conference on Operations and Management in IP-Based NetworksA mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a temporary infrastructureless network, formed by a set of mobile hosts that dynamically establish their own network on the fly without relying on any central administration. Mobile hosts used in MANET have to ensure ...
