Reputation agreement in ad-hoc networks with binary-valued communication

This paper aims to study the reputation mechanism of ad-hoc network with binary-valued communication, where the information each node gets from its neighbors is binary-valued observations corrupted by communication noises. Based on the consensus algorithm with binary-valued communication [1], we propose an effective reputation agreement mechanism. In this mechanism, each node can update its reputation information of other nodes based on binary-valued observations and finally reach an agreement. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed reputation agreement mechanism.
