Cooperation in Opportunistic Mobile Networks: This research identifies different aspects of cooperation on which nodes in OMNs could cooperate. We proposed a Distributed Information-baSed Cooperation UShering Scheme (DISCUSS), to promote cooperation amongst nodes, where the nodes dynamically adapt their message forwarding strategies. Then, we designed a Distributed Strategy Identification Scheme (DISIDE), using which a node identifies other nodes’ strategies locally. In this scheme, a node learns from its own observation, while receiving or forwarding messages to other nodes. Additionally, it learns from other nodes by exchanging in-formation. Based on these observations, each node identifies the other nodes’ strategies in a distributed manner. I was a member of SWAN Research Group during my PhD at IIT Kharagpur.
