| Popis: | Energy efficiency is gaining importance in wireless communication networks which have nodes with limited energy supply and signal processing capabilities. We present a numerical study of cooperative communication scenarios based on simple local rules. This is in contrast to most of the approaches in the literature which enforce cooperation by using complex algorithms and require strategic complexity of the network nodes. The approach is motivated by recent results in evolutionary biology which suggest that, if certain mechanism is at work, cooperation can be favoured by natural selection, i. e. even selfish actions of the individual nodes can lead to emergence of cooperative behaviour in the network. The results of the simulations in the context of wireless communication networks verify these observations and indicate that uncomplicated local rules, followed by simple fitness evaluation, can generate network behaviour which yields global energy efficiency. Comment: The paper is accepted for publication at the International Workshop on Physics-inspired Paradigms in Wireless Communications and Networks - PHYSCOMNET 2014, in conjunction with the 12th Intl. Symposium on Modelling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks - WIOPT, May 12-16, 2014, Hammamet, Tunisia |
