Today’s communication networks are becoming increasingly dynamic in the sense , which means that theyse networksdo not have no fixed infrastructure (e.g. distributed access networks through WLAN, ad-hoc networks, ambient intelligence [1], [2] networks or sensor networks), or the configuration of infrastructure-based networks continuously changes. Examples include distributed access networks using WLAN technology, ad-hoc networks, ambient intelligence networks [1], [2] or sensor networks)These networks have considerable independence and, autonomy and they might frequently act in a selfish manner. Autonomy means that such networks have no central administrative or any management principles that would specifydetermine their operation.
