Abstract

Mesh networking is a feasible and effective way to route between nodes. The reliability and versatility of wireless mesh networks makes it a critical part of the future Wireless Internet. We apply a tree routing structure to formulate the multihop relay system topology. Wireless mesh network has a gateway node that connects to wired-line Internet. There are several kinds of node characteristics in the system, either being selfish or altruistic. We model bandwidth sharing and multihop relaying problem in wireless mesh networks with Nash Equilibrium. The novelty of this work is in modeling mixed selfish and altruistic user behaviors in multihop relay networks. In addition, the bandwidth sharing strategy space in our fixed pricing network access model differs from the previous variable pricing network model.
