Cocowa: A Collaborative Contact Based Watchdog For Detecting Selfish Nodes Screen Shots
CoCoWa is a collaborative watchdog method for detecting selfish nodes in mobile ad hoc networks. It uses a contact-based approach where nodes monitor their neighbors collaboratively to detect misbehavior like failing to forward packets. If a node is found to be selfish, a path avoidance mechanism prevents using that node for future routing to encourage cooperation.
