Abstract
In multihop wireless networks, selfish nodes do not relay other nodes' packets and
make use of the cooperative nodes to relay their packets, which has negative impact on the
network fairness and performance. Incentive protocols use credits to stimulate the selfish
nodes' cooperation, but the existing protocols usually rely on the heavyweight public-key
operations to secure the payment.
