Zaproponowano system reputacyjny dla bezprzewodowej sieci rozległej ad hoc, pozwalający stacjm sieci zachować tzw. anonimowość pakietową oraz odróżniać zachowania niekoperacyjne od efektów przeciążenia sieci. Zastosowano generację miar reputacyjnych przy wykorzystaniu mechanizmu lokalnego nasłuchiwania (watchdog). Przeprowadzono symulacyjne badania odporności tego systemu na obecność stacji niewspółpracujących.

Motivated by the concerns of cooperation security, this work examines selected principles of state-of-the-art reputation systems for multi-hop ad hoc networks and their impact upon optimal strategies for rational nodes. An analytic framework is proposed and used for identification of effective cooperation-enforcement schemes. It is pointed out that optimum rather than high reputation can be expected to be sought by rational nodes.

A novel algorithm is presented to deduce individual nodal forwarding behavior from standard end-to-end acknowledgments. The algorithm is based on a well-established mathematical method and is robust to network related errors and nodal behavior changes. The proposed solution was verified in a network simulation, during which it achieved sound results in a challenging multihop ad-hoc network environment.

. Selfish node behavior can diminish the reliability of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) or a wireless sensor network (WSN). Efficient detection of such behavior is therefore essential. One approach is to construct a reputation scheme, which has network nodes determine and share reputation values associated with each node; these values can next be used as input to a routing algorithm to avoid end-to-end routes containing ill-reputed...
