Abstract

In this paper, a load aware matching game to achieve stable one-to-one matching of senders and receivers is proposed, when distance between sender and receiver, and busyness level of receivers are taken into account. We have formulated matching game for the network formation where the nodes are capable of load sharing, selfish behaviour of node that maximize their individual utility and agreeing to cooperate in pair. Sender keeps changing one hop receiver that assist in load balancing of the network. Busyness level of receiver is introduced into matching game to initiate competition between the proposing senders. Distance is introduced to instigate competition between the receivers. The proposed matching game theoretic models compared with the state of art load balancing model for ad hoc networks in the terms of lifetime of the network and standard deviation of the load. Simulation results have shown that the proposed LAMG performs better as compared with GLBR in the terms of network lifetime and standard deviation of the load.
