Game Theory for Wireless Communications and Networking

This comprehensive technical guide explains game theory basics, architectures, protocols, security, models, open research issues, and cutting-edge advances and applications. Describing how to employ game theory in infrastructure-based wireless networks and multihop networks to reduce power consumption, it facilitates quick and easy reference to related optimization and algorithm methodologies. The book explains how to apply the game theoretic model to address resource allocation, congestion control, attacks, routing, energy management, packet forwarding, and MAC.
