A fully decentralized trust management and cooperation incentives framework for wireless user-centric networks

Defense date2015-04-24
Abstract

Wireless networks today are partially being formed by nodes (e.g. Internet access points, smartphones, femtocells) that are owned and carried by humans. In such scenarios where several strangers are expected to interact for the sake of robust data transmission, trust and cooperation incentives are of vital importance as these establish a way for the nodes involved in the system to communicate with each other in a safe manner, to share services and information, and above all, to form communities that assist in sustaining robust connectivity models. The aim of this thesis is to build a framework that will combine a fully decentralized trust management system with cooperation incentives, in order to persuade users to behave in a correct manner to create a sustainable and scalable systems in exchange of some form of compensation/remuneration, in order to achieve an overall more robust architecture.
