A Stackelberg game for resource allocation in multiuser cooperative transmission networks

Transmission cost allocation based on cooperative game theory

Pricing and Advertising Decisions in a Three-level Supply Chain with Nash, Stackelberg and Cooperative Games

Pricing and advertising are two important marketing strategies in the supply chain management which lead to customer demand’s increase and therefore higher profit for members of supply chains. This paper considers advertising, and pricing decisions simultaneously for a three-level supply chain with one supplier, one manufacturer and one retailer. The amount of market demand is influenced ...

Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks: An Overview of Game-Theoretic Approaches

An overview of game-theoretic approaches to energy-efficient resource allocation in wireless networks is presented. Focusing on multiple-access networks, it is demonstrated that game theory can be used as an effective tool to study resource allocation in wireless networks with quality-of-service (QoS) constraints. A family of non-cooperative (distributed) games is presented in which each user s...

Resource Allocation Based Game Theory in a Converged Macro/Femto LTE Networks

In this article, we propose two levels of resource allocation method in a converged scenario for Macro and Femtocells LTE system. We use a Soft Frequency Reuse for guaranteeing the Quality of Service (QoS) for different Service Data Flows (SDFs) in the converged wireless networks. The first level of our method includes the use of bandwidth allocation between macro and femtocells and admission c...

Multiuser Radio Resource Allocation for Multiservice Transmission in OFDMA-Based Cooperative Relay Networks

The problem of multiservice transmission in OFDMA-based cooperative relay networks is studied comprehensively. We propose a framework to adaptively allocate power, subcarriers, and data rate in OFDMA system to maximize spectral efficiency under the constraints of satisfying multiuser multiservices’ QoS requirements. Specifically, first we concentrate on the single-user scenario which considers ...
