I would like to thank my research advisor, Dr. Neeraj Jaggi, for his constant support and guidance. Working under him was a priceless learning experience, which helped me understand the importance of precision and presentation in research.Apart from academics, he has also been a motivational figure for me, and has truly influenced me in many ways, for which I will always be grateful. I am heartily thankful to Umesh Marappa In addition, it is also observed that the performance gains achieved using misbehavior exhibit diminishing returns with respect to its aggressiveness, for all types of misbehaviors considered.Crucial common characteristics among such misbehaviors are identified, and these learnings are used to design an effective measure to react towards such misbehaviors.Employing two of the most effective misbehaviors, it is shown that collective aggressiveness of non-selfish nodes is a possible strategy to react towards selfish misbehavior. Particularly, a dynamic collective aggressive reaction approach is demonstrated to ensure fairness in the network, however at the expense of overall network throughput degradation. In addition, the proposed adaptive reaction strategy provides the necessary disincentive to prevent selfish misbehavior in the network.vi
