Abstract
Unfairness in wireless ad hoc networks is often due to the different ways the single nodes decide to participate in relay operations. We propose to introduce a dedicated ad hoc routing protocol based on results of game theory to force the cooperation of less operative nodes and mitigate the effort of overwhelmed ones. Simulations on an experimental testbed show a better distribution of the energy consumption and an increased fairness in the average delivery ratio achieved by nodes, as well as a prolonged network lifetime.
