Abstract

The paper investigates the mechanisms for promotion
of cooperation in decentralized wireless networks. The main
objective is to determine whether cooperation can emerge in
these networks in the same way it emerges in biological systems.
The approach is motivated by recent results in evolutionary
biology which suggest that cooperation can be favored by natural
selection, if a certain mechanism is at work. We are interested in
promoting cooperation based on simple rules, in contrast to most
of the approaches which enforce cooperation by using complex
algorithms and require strategic complexity of the network nodes.
We present a model of a wireless network as a graph, and
associate benefits and costs with the strategy that the network
users follow at a certain time instant (cooperation or defection).
We define fitness function based on the amount of power each
node has to transmit and allow the users to update their strategy
based on the observed change of fitness. The objective is to
demonstrate that cooperative behavior, if introduced by chance,
can persists over time in the wireless network.
