A Micro-Payment Scheme Encouraging Collaboration in Multi-hop Cellular Networks
We propose a micro-payment scheme for multi-hop cellular networks that encourages collaboration in packet forwarding by letting users benefit from relaying others’ packets. At the same time as proposing mechanisms for detecting and rewarding collaboration, we introduce appropriate mechanisms for detecting and punishing various forms of abuse. We show that the resulting scheme – which is exceptionally lightweight – makes collaboration rational and cheating undesirable.
