A duality between a game approach and a MANET.

Elements of a game	Elements of a mobile ad hoc network
Players	Nodes
Strategy	Action linked to each player to evaluate its utility.
	In our game, we consider two strategies:
	cooperate and not-cooperate
Utility function	(i) Performance metrics (throughput, packet forwarded, packet received, and end-to-end delay).
	(ii) The cooperation rate (CR) of each node (player)
