Abstract
Opportunistic network is an advanced technique for communication in mobile ad hoc networks in which end to end paths are unstable. To enable this end to end communication in opportunistic networks, several routing protocols have been proposed in the past and it is purely based on probabilistic routing. However, when nodes are behaving selfish manner, probabilistic routing does not have any mechanism to make them to participate. Hence, this research study proposes to make the selfish nodes to participate and cooperate for reliable communication in MANETs. The incentives are awarded to selfish nodes for their participation and cooperating to forward the packets in this opportunistic network which leads to gain in delivery ratio and increased system performance with reduced communication overhead.
