WHAT IS IT?

The initial setting consist of a specified number of wireless terminal moving randomly in a square field. Several different strategies can be chosen by the user.

HOW IT WORKS

The program shows the quest for clusters at a user specified range (slider "radius"). Depending on distance, each unit of the cluster is assigned a color and each link a data-rate according to the WLAN specifications of IEEE802.11a/g
A random set of terminals (players = green units) is chosen to look for opponents to play with, they are looking for cooperation (but the user can choose the players strategy). After finding the neighborhood, each player play his round depending on his own strategy and tries cluster-up when all the nodes in the current potential cluster agree on cooperation (also depending on strategies).
Here 2 strategies are taken in consideration: selfish and wise. The actions of each unit are taken depending on the instantaneous profit (no history).
Scores for each player are determined by the payoff matrix resulting from the calculations of the average power per unit in a cooperative secenario (see formulas on power consumption).

HOW TO USE IT
