Node-Dependence-Based Dynamic Incentive Algorithm in Opportunistic Networks

Algorithm 1

The Node-dependence-based dynamic gaming incentive algorithm.

(1) Initialize the parameters in Table 1 and the weight coefficient when nodes encounter

at the first time, and Calculate NAC, NIC, and NDD.

(2) Node asks node for relaying a packet, and waits for ’s response.
