Abstract :
In this paper, we derive the general expressions of the throughput capacity scaling of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), and find that the strategy of an individual node determines the throughput of an MANET. We show that optimal strategies that maximize the throughput of the network can exist. Based on a game theoretic approach, we further show that the optimal strategies constitute Nash equilibria.
