ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the important issue of finding an optimal route from source to destination in Multihop Cellular Networks. A facile incentive mechanism is presented to motivate the cooperation between nodes in call forwarding. The chapter argues that mobile nodes are distributed according to a two-dimensional uniform point process. In conventional cellular networks, mobile nodes by default do not agree for packet relaying since packet relaying consumes resources such as battery power, processor time and bandwidth. Traditional ad-hoc routing protocols only use symmetric links in route calculations. The established connections would not be available for data transfer until identified as symmetric links by the routing protocols. End-to-end throughput is defined as the probability of successful transmission from a source node to a destination node. The forced termination of the call against the will of the subscriber is defined as dynamic call dropping.
