Every day, ad hoc networks demonstrate their importance in daily life via the benefits they bring to services in different areas of economic, social and cultural activity. This chapter introduces ad hoc networks and their different characteristics. It discusses the medium access phenomenon and the major problems present in the Medium access control (MAC) layer. The energy factor is of primary importance...
This chapter focuses on game theory and its applications in telecommunications, and more specifically in wireless networks. It begins by introducing this theory as mathematical tool that includes a set of rules and techniques necessary for analytical developments. In practical terms, game theory cannot be discussed without assuming the famous theorem of Nash's equilibrium. To do this, the chapter...
This chapter is structured in two main parts, each part dedicated to the presentation and detailed description of the strategic game model. In the first part, the author presents a classic study of Slotted ALOHA (SALOHA) based on the use of Markov chains to determine the various operating states of this algorithm, and thus to define the throughput function of the network. The chapter discusses the...
This chapter is structured into two main parts. The first part discusses the state of carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) performance in conventional mode, where a person examines transmission delay, packet loss rate and transmission throughput. The chapter also introduces the game model by defining its vital components and describes its various characteristics. Next, it moves on to the most difficult...
