Research Abstract |
An ad hoc network consists of self-organizing nodes using multi-hop relay. It is important to get relay nodes in order to deploy telecommunication services using ad hoc networks. When relaying, relay nodes use their limited resources. For example, the power consumption increases, and processing the relayed data adds an extra workload. This discourages users from joining an ad hoc network and becoming relay nodes. But if the number of users willing to become relay nodes is not enough, it will be impossible to establish a multi-hop route in an ad hoc network.
