ACCOUNTING IN AD-HOC NETWORKS

摘要

A control center a relay node for facilitating accounting in an ad-hoc network, the accounting including determining a relay mode at each of a group of relay nodes participating in relay communication data in the ad-hoc network, and accounting for the relaying of the communication data based on the relay mode. The control center may be constituted by a gateway from the ad hoc network to an external communication network and may allow accurate accounting for relay operations rendered in the ad hoc network for rewarding the relaying nodes.
