Incentive Scheme for Stimulation of Forwarding Cooperation of nodes in VANETs

The effective incentive scheme is proposed to stimulate the forwarding cooperation of nodes in VANETs. In a coalitional game model, every relevant node cooperates in forwarding messages as required by the routing protocol. This scheme is extended with constrained storage space. A lightweight approach is also proposed to stimulate the cooperation. As a Future Enhancement, we further reduce the length of communication overhead and there by the link failures can be reduced.
