Cooperation-guaranteeing mechanism based on altruism punishment in mobile peer-to-peer networks
Abstract
In this paper, a cooperation-guaranteeing mechanism based on altruism punishment in mobile peer-to-peer networks is presented, which takes into consideration the existence of altruism punishment widely observed in a lot of experiments in behavioral economics. In this mechanism, it is supposed that some nodes in the system have the predisposition to punish the selfish nodes with non-cooperation behaviors, even though they may receive lower payoffs or nothing. The selfish nodes are thereby restricted and their non-cooperation probability is reduced. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the proposed mechanism is reasonable and effective in reducing the number of selfish nodes and improving the cooperation.
