Cooperative communication and resource limitation are two main characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). On one hand, communication among the nodes in MANETs highly depends on the cooperation among nodes because of the limited transmission range of the nodes, and multi-hop communications are needed in most cases. On the other hand, every node in MANETs has stringent resource constraints on computations, communications, memory, and energy. These two characteristics lead to the existence of selfish nodes in MANETs, which affects the network performance in various aspects. In this paper, we quantitatively investigate the impacts of node selfishness caused by energy depletion in MANETs in terms of packet loss rate, round-trip delay, and throughput. We conducted extensive measurements on a proper simulation platform incorporating an OMNeT++ and INET Framework. Our experimental results quantitatively indicate the impact of node selfishness on the network performance in MANETs. The results also imply that it is important to evaluate the impact of node selfishness by jointly considering selfish nodes’ mobility models, densities, proportions, and combinations.
The rapid motorization of cities has led to the increasingly serious contradiction between supply and demand of road resources, and intersections have become the main bottleneck of traffic congestion. In general, capacity and delay are often used as indicators to improve intersection efficiency, but auxiliary indicators such as vehicle emissions that contribute to sustainable traffic development also need to be considered. It is necessary to evaluate intersection traffic efficiency through multiple measures to reflect different aspects of traffic, and these measures may conflict with each other. Therefore, this paper studies a multi-objective urban traffic signal timing problem, which requires a reasonable signal timing parameter under a given traffic flow condition, to better take into account the traffic capacity, delay and exhaust emission index of the intersection. Firstly, based on the traffic flow as the basic data, combined with the traffic flow description theory and exhaust emission estimation rules, a multi-objective model of signal timing problem is established. Secondly, the target model is solved and tested by the genetic algorithm of non-dominated sorting framework. It is found that the Pareto solution set of traffic indicators obtained by NSGA-III has a larger domain. Finally, the search mechanism of evolutionary algorithm is essentially unconstrained, while the actual traffic signal timing problem is constrained by traffic environment. In order to obtain a better signal timing scheme, this paper introduces the method of combining hybrid constraint strategy and NSGA-III framework, abbreviated as HCNSGA-III. The simulation experiment was carried out based on the same target model. The simulated results were compared with the actual scheme and the timing scheme obtained in recent research. The results show that the indices of traffic capacity, delay and exhaust emission obtained by the proposed method have more obvious advantages.
