ABSTRACT Mobile ad‐hoc networks require users to cooperate in the relaying of data. Reputation‐based selfishness prevention mechanisms are aimed at observing the behavior of nodes, and detecting and isolating selfish nodes that might drop packets. Mechanisms are therefore necessary to adequately and rapidly detect cooperative and selfish nodes. This work proposes a novel detection mechanism that outperforms the Bayesian techniques reported to date, and that can better cope with the unknown selfish behavior of nodes.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
