Competitive Resource Sharing Based on Game Theory in Cooperative Relay Networks

Competitive Resource Sharing Based on Game Theory in Cooperative Relay Networks

© 2009 Guopeng Zhang et al. 89 ABSTRACT⎯This letter considers the problem of resource sharing among a relay and multiple user nodes in cooperative transmission networks. We formulate this problem as a sellers’ market competition and use a noncooperative game to jointly consider the benefits of the relay and the users. We also develop a distributed algorithm to search the Nash equilibrium, the s...

A User Cooperation Stimulating Strategy Based on Cooperative Game Theory in Cooperative Relay Networks

This paper proposes a user cooperation stimulating strategy among rational users. The strategy is based on cooperative game theory and enacted in the context of cooperative relay networks. Using the pricing-based mechanism, the system is modeled initially with two nodes and a Base Station (BS). Within this framework, each node is treated as a rational decision maker. To this end, each node can ...

A Resource Allocation Algorithm in Cognitive Radio Networks Based on Cooperative Game Theory Approach

In cognitive networks, the parameters of radios were adapted to achieve end-to-end or network objectives such as spectral or energy efficiency, reliability, or throughput maximization. In these networks, the licensed spectrum and dynamic spectrum sharing based on opportunistic communication play an important role of resource allocation. Since the resource allocation networks always cooperate an...

Dynamic Competitive Resource Sharing in Multimedia Networks

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a methodology for dynamic resource sharing in multimedia networks with competing traffic types. We introduce dynamic queueing models for multimedia traffic types, as well as approximate linearized dynamic queueing models. We formulate the problem as an dynamic non-cooperative Nash game and state the conditions for non-cooperative equilibrium. Finally, we prop...
