This assumption may not be valid in commercial wireless networks where terminals may misbehave for selfish or malicious intentions. The presence of misbehaving terminals creates a social-dilemma where terminals exhibit uncertainty about the cooperative behavior of other terminals in the network. Cooperation in social-dilemma is characterized by a suboptimal Nash equilibrium where wireless terminals opt out of cooperation. Hence without establishing a mechanism to detect and mitigate effects of misbehavior it is difficult to maintain a socially optimal cooperation. In this paper we first examine effects of misbehavior assuming static game model and show that cooperation under existing cooperative protocols is characterized by a noncooperative Nash equilibrium. Using evolutionary game dynamics we show that a small number of mutants can successfully invade a population of cooperators which indicates that misbehavior is an evolutionary stable strategy ESS . Our main goal is to design a mechanism that would enable wireless terminals to select reliable partners in the presence of uncertainty. To this end we formulate cooperative diversity as a dynamic game
