Robust fully distributed file caching for delay-tolerant networks: A reward-based incentive mechanism by Sidi Ahmed Ezzahidi, Essaid Sabir, Sara Koulali, El-Houssine Bouyakhf

“…We model this distributed network interaction as a non-cooperative game. Namely, the source node offers to the relay nodes a positive reward if they accept to cache and to forward a given file successfully to a target destination, whereas the relay nodes may either accept or reject the source deal, depending on the reward attractiveness and on their battery status (their actual energy level). …”
