An Efficient Approach for Stimulating Cooperation among Nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks by Hongyun Xu, Ding Wang, Shigen Shen, Youqun Shi, Qiying Cao

“…If the critical masses of nodes do not cooperate in the network, the network would not be able to operate to achieve its functional requirements. To resolve the problem above, we introduce a Win-Stay, Lose-Likely-Shift (WSLLS) approach into a Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) game framework, and it applies a utility-based function, which is a linear combination of one player's payoff and its neighbors' in a game, to evaluate a player's (i.e., node) performance for a game. …”
