Challenges to mobile ad hoc cooperation design

In military and rescue applications of mobile ad hoc networks, all the nodes belong to the same authority; therefore, they are motivated to cooperate in order to support the basic functions of the network. This paper describes the work in progress to support group cooperation on mobile ad hoc wireless networks, and discusses the great challenge to design cooperation in mobile environment. We analyze some issues of decentralized ad hoc framework design for mobile cooperation, and the network's overall reachability increase on the effect of intensifying participation in ad hoc networks with the help of cooperation design.
