A Game Theory Based Approach for Power Efficient Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Table 1

Game theoretic model for packet forwarding in VANETs.

Components of a game	Symbol	Elements of VANET
Players		The set of decision-making nodes in the VANETs
Strategy		Actions set of node :
		Action of node : (reject forwarding) (participate forwarding)
		Joint action set: the Cartesian product of all ,
		,
Utility function		The payoff function taking action
		The cost function taking action
		The utility function taking action :
