Main Abstract:
We present an evolutionary game theoretic approach to study node cooperation behavior in wireless ad hoc networks. Evolutionary game theory (EGT) has been used to study the conditions governing the growth of cooperation behavior in biological and social networks. We propose a model of node cooperation behavior in dynamic wireless networks such as vehicular networks. Our work is motivated by the fact that, similar to existing EGT studies, node behavior in dynamic wireless networks is characterized by decision making that only depends on the immediate neighborhood. We adapt our model to study cooperation behavior in the context of information dissemination in wireless networks. We obtain conditions that determine whether a network evolves to a state of complete cooperation from all nodes. Finally, we use our model to study the evolution of cooperation behavior and its impact on content downloading in vehicular networks, taking into consideration realistic network conditions.

[1]: In a P2P file-sharing system, a node finds and retrieves its desired file. If multiple nodes cache the same file to provide others, we can achieve a file-sharing system with low latency and high file availability. However, a node has to spend costs, e.g., processing load or storage capacity, on caching of a file. Consequently, a node may selfishly behave and hesitate to cache a file. In such a case, there is a possibility that unpopular files disappear from the system. In this paper, we aim to accomplish effective caching in the whole system that emerges from autonomous and selfish node behavior. We first discuss relationship between selfish node behavior and system dynamics according to evolutionary game theory. As a result, we show that a file-sharing system can be robust to file disappearance depending on a cost and demand model for caching even if nodes behave selfishly.

[2]: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing is one of key technologies for achieving attractive P2P multimedia social networking. In P2P file-sharing systems, file availability is improved by cooperative users who cache and share files. Note that file caching carries costs such as storage consumption and processing load. In addition, users have different degrees of cooperativity in file caching and they are in different surrounding environments arising from the topological structure of P2P networks. With evolutionary game theory, this paper evaluates the performance of P2P file sharing systems in such heterogeneous environments. Using micro-macro dynamics, we analyze the impact of the heterogeneity of user selfishness on the file availability and system stability. Further, through simulation experiments with agent-based dynamics, we reveal how other aspects, for example, synchronization among nodes and topological structure, affect the system performance. Both analytical and simulation results show that the environmental heterogeneity contributes to the file availability and system stability.

[3]: In a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing system, a node finds and retrieves its desired file. If multiple nodes cache the same file to provide others, we can achieve a dependable file-sharing system with low latency and high file availability. However, a node has to spend costs, e.g., processing load or storage capacity, on caching a file. Consequently, a node may selfishly behave and hesitate to cache a file. In such a case, unpopular files are likely to disappear from the system. In this paper, we aim to reveal whether effective caching in the whole system emerges from autonomous and selfish node behavior. We discuss relationship between selfish node behavior and system dynamics by using evolutionary game theory. Through theoretic analysis, we show that a file-sharing system can be robust to file disappearance depending on a cost and demand model for caching even if nodes behave selfishly. Furthermore, we also conduct several simulation-based analysis in terms of network structures, evolving network, load balancing, and system stability. As a result, we demonstrate that a file-sharing system with good properties, i.e., robustness to file disappearance, low search latency, well load-balancing, and high stability, can be achieved independent of network structures and dynamics.
A key aspect of our work which distinguishes it from existing research is the fact that we study node cooperation behavior in the context of information dissemination in wireless networks. Our approach aims to identify the mutual impact that the evolution of node cooperation and the information dissemination process have on each other. As with the problem of information dissemination in vehicular networks considered here, there exist other scenarios in which free-riding is the only rational strategy for nodes to follow. Indeed, existing research has explored the use of evolutionary game theoretic techniques to study node cooperation in scenarios such as peer-to-peer file sharing [1] [3] [2] . However, the distinguishing feature of our work is that our model of node behavior is particularly suited for wireless network scenarios since we take into consideration aspects like node interactions limited to immediate neighborhood and the intrinsic ability of the wireless medium to boost cooperation.
