5GD2DRRMGame theoretic aspects of wireless spectrum access

The project aims to apply game theoretic analysis to the cognitive spectrum allocation problem (cooperative, competitive and hybrid approaches). This should lead to implementable adaptations of the naive interference game and its Nash Equilibria. We will analyze the dynamics and prove the convergence of these techniques. We will also deal with generalizations of the problem when networks are saturated, when channel state information is inaccurate, and when each user can transmit over multiple frequency bands. This will lead to the development of algorithms and protocols for efficient, agile and adaptive spectrum and radio resource allocation based on game theoretic concepts.
