Abstract

In a mobile Ad Hoc network, the energy imbalance of mobile nodes may lead to energy depletion of some nodes, network partitioning and degradation of network lifespan. Therefore, we propose an energy balancing approach called Energy Balancing Approach Based on Non-cooperative Game (EBNG) which can be transparently added to any existing reactive routing protocols. EBNG combines an Energy Balancing Approach Based on Forwarding Refusal (EBFR) which allows nodes to give up packet forwarding depending on their battery power with a Protocol-Independent Cooperative Incentive Scheme (PICIS) which under a dynamic repeated game-theoretic framework. Simulation results show that compared with the existing schemes EBFR can extend the lifespan of MANET and PICIS performs well in terms of the effectiveness of cooperation incentives and selfish node detection.
