Abstract
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) rely on the cooperation of nodes in a network to forward a message from its source to its destination. Most of previous studies on DTNs have focused on the design of routing schemes under the hypothesis that each relay node is willing to participate in the forwarding process. However, the delivery of a message incurs energy and memory costs. In this paper we handle the problem of how to persuade mobile nodes to participate in relaying messages using a reward mechanism. We extend the results in TMC16 to heterogeneous relay nodes where the cost for taking part in the forwarding process varies as a function of the mobility patterns of the relays.
