Abstract

Due to the constraints on available resources, a node in wireless sensor networks is likely to be selfish and refuse to declare itself as a cluster head. Based on game theory, this paper models the problem and discusses the condition of Nash Equilibrium. Simulation results show that nodes have tendency to cooperate due to the reduction in delay and loss rate.
