A GAME THEORETIC APPROACH FOR DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH ASSIGNMENT IN ETHERNET PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORKS

In the last years, there has been a substantial effort in the application of Stackelberg game-theoretic approaches in the security arena, in which security agencies implement patrols and checkpoints to protect targets from criminal attacks. The classical game-theoretic approach employed successful to solve security games is that of a Stackelberg game between a defender (leader) and an attacker ...

Predicting human behavior from a small amount of training examples is a challenging machine learning problem. In this thesis, we introduce the principle of maximum causal entropy, a general technique for applying information theory to decision-theoretic, game-theoretic, and control settings where relevant information is sequentially revealed over time. This approach guarantees decision-theoreti...

We define a fairness solution criterion for multi-agent decision-making problems, where agents have local interests. This new criterion aims to maximize the worst performance of agents with a consideration on the overall performance. We develop a simple linear programming approach and a more scalable game-theoretic approach for computing an optimal fairness policy. This game-theoretic approach ...

The small cell technology is considered as a key for 5G networks. capacity expansion and coverage extension are both achieved through this deployment. However, the ultra-dense cells deployment can cause severe interference, high number of frequent unnecessary handovers and/or handover failure hence, power consumption expected due to signalling overhead. Placing some into idle mode, without caus...

In this chapter, we consider the sensor management problem for tracking space targets where the targets may apply evasive maneuvering strategy to avoid being tracked by the space borne observers. We first study the case of single target tracking by a single observer and formulate the pursuit–evasion game with complete information. Then we extend the tracking problem to a set of collaborative ob...
