HITM: A Hybrid Incentive Trade Model for Data Forwarding in DTNs

In delay tolerant networks (DTNs), the delivery rate and delivery speed are restricted by node selfishness. To promote the delivery rate and reduce the delivery delay in DTNs, we propose a hybrid incentive trade model (HITM), which uses reputation compensation to stimulate nodes to give up their tem...
