Modeling a Traffic Remapping Attack Game in a Multi-hop Ad Hoc Network
PublikacjaIn multi-hop ad hoc networks, selfish nodes may unduly acquire high quality of service (QoS) by assigning higher priority to source packets and lower priority to transit packets.

While studied mostly in single-hop wireless network settings, TRAs have resisted analysis in multi-hop settings. In this paper...
