We consider a non-orthogonal multiple access scheme e.g. CDMA based cellular multi-channel cognitive radio network (CRN). Here multiple secondary users share a common set of channels simultaneously. For such an environment, we develop a distributed power allocation approach based on a game theoretic formulation among secondary users to satisfy their rate requirement. We model the problem using ...

The rapidly developing cloud computing and virtualization techniques provide mobile devices with battery energy saving opportunities by allowing them to offload computation and execute applications remotely. A mobile device should judiciously determine whether to offload computation and which portion of application should be offloaded to the cloud. This paper considers a mobile cloud computing ...

In this paper, we propose a new congestion control scheme for high-speed networks. The basic idea of our proposed scheme is to adopt a game theory called, “Minority Game” (MG), to realize a selective reduction of the transmission speed of senders. More concretely, upon detecting any congestion, the scheme starts a game among all senders who are participating in the communication. The losers of ...

We briefly introduce and discuss two two-player non-zero-sum games, mainly to illustrate that such games are substantially more complex to investigate than zero-sum games. Actually, the key aspect of such games is that the sum of the pay-offs to the two players is not constant over all pairs of strategies, as constant sum games are equivalent to zero-sum games (think about this; one can imagine...

In the multi-agent systems community, dependence theory and game theory are often presented as two alternative perspectives on the analysis of social interaction. Up till now no research has been done relating these two approaches. The unification presented provides dependence theory with the sort of mathematical foundations which still lacks, and shows how game theory can incorporate dependenc...

• Si is the set of (pure) strategies of player i, • S = ∏ i∈N Si is the set of states, • ci : S → R is the cost function of player i ∈ N . In state s ∈ S, player i has a cost of ci(s). We denote by s−i = (s1, ..., si−1, si+1, ..., sn) a state s without the strategy si. This notation allows us to concisely define a unilateral deviation of a player. For i ∈ N , let s ∈ S and si ∈ Si, then (si, s−...
