Popis: We propose a cooperation and accounting scheme for multi-hop cellular networks, which stimulates cooperation among nodes by making it a rewarding alternative to selfishness. The paper describes an architecture with highly decentralized security and accounting mechanisms. Our scheme charges senders and rewards forwarders, supports both sender- and receiver-based payments and coexists with ad hoc oo1y traffic. We use of service stations deployed throughout the network to offer nodes a possibility to refill their money accounts. We present the results of simulation runs, where we investigated the liveliness of the proposed scheme. We find that the number of service stations and their distribution correlate in different ways.
