The deployment of IEEE 802.11 based WLANs in populated areas is such that many mobile terminals are covered by several Access Points (APs). These mobiles have the possibility to associate to the AP with the strongest signal (best-RSSI association scheme).This can lead to poor performances and overloaded APs. Moreover, the well known anomaly in the protocol at the MAC layer may also lead to very unpredictable...
In this paper we design an incentive mechanism for heterogeneous Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). The proposed mechanism tackles a core problem of such systems: how to induce coordination of DTN relays in order to achieve a target performance figure, e.g., delivery probability or end-to-end delay, under a given constraint in term of network resources, e.g., number of active nodes or energy consumption...
