A wireless ad-hoc network comprising a management unit arranged to calculate a reward for nodes that forward a message within the network or a punishment for nodes failing to do so. The reward or punishment is based on confirmation messages received from nodes that forward messages and on an indication of the nodes' reputation. The balance between a node's remaining energy and a nodeâ s remaining credits available for sending messages may be used in determining a reward a node should receive for forwarding a message. |
