چکیده

To realize collaborative transmission in wireless overlay access networks, the question of rate allocation arises as how to divide the traffic flow among heterogeneous networks. Different networks role as game players and they try to transmit the traffic flow by a cooperative method. Power costs and transmission capabilities in heterogeneous networks are different according to terminal position, network load etc, so the grand coalition is not always beneficial and the coalition structure should be adjusted in time. With the power cost introduced in the utility function, the rate allocation is formulated in a coalition formation game framework in the paper. The stable coalition structure is formed with the merge-andsplit rule, then the utility is distributed to different players and the transmission rates in different networks are determined. Such a process continues until the end of the traffic transmission. The theoretical and experimental results are presented to validate our proposed method. Compared with the Nash Bargaining Solution and the Shapley value, the coalition structure can be adjusted with the terminal position through the new scheme and then the highest coalition utility can be obtained with low power cost. Moreover, the proposed method turns to be the bargaining game framework if the power cost is not considered.

Joint Mode Selection and Radio Resource Allocation for D2D Communications Based on Dynamic Coalition Formation Game

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication makes large benefit on users’ data rate due to the proximity between potential D2D transmitters and receivers. However, the data rate is restricted by the co-channel interference between underlaying D2D links and traditional cellular users (CUs). In this paper, we investigate how to leverage D2D communication to improve overall system data rate via joint mod...

Obtaining a possible allocation in the bankruptcy model using the Shapley value

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an effective tool for supporting decision-makers to assess bankruptcy, uncertainty concepts including intervals, and game theory. The bankruptcy problem with the qualitative parameters is an economic problem under uncertainty. Accordingly, we combine the concepts of the DEA game theory and uncertain models as interval linear programming (ILP), which can be app...

Joint mode selection and resource allocation for machine-type D2D links

Low-power machine-type communications devices in machine-to-machine networks are expected to operate autonomously for years, or even decades. Meanwhile, device-to-device (D2D) communications make large benefits on users’ data rate and power consumption because of the proximity between potential D2D transmitters and receivers. In this paper, we facilitate machine-type D2D links where the machine...
