A mathematical tool for scientists and researchers who work with
computer and communication networks, Game Theory in Communication
Networks: Cooperative Resolution of Interactive Networking
Scenarios addresses the question of how to promote cooperative
behavior in interactive situations between heterogeneous entities
in communication networking scenarios. It explores network design
and management from a theoretical perspective, using game theory
and graph theory to analyze strategic situations and demonstrate
profitable behaviors of the cooperative entities.
The book promotes the use of Game Theory to address important
resource management and security issues found in next generation
communications networks, particularly heterogeneous networks, for
cases where cooperative interactive networking scenarios can be
formulated. It provides solutions for representative mechanisms
that need improvement by presenting a theoretical step-by-step
approach. The text begins with a presentation of theory that can be
used to promote cooperation for the entities in a particular
interactive situation. Next, it examines two-player interaction as
well as interactions between multiple players. The final chapter
presents and examines a performance evaluation framework based on
MATLAB(r).
Each chapter begins by introducing basic theory for dealing with
a particular interactive situation and illustrating how particular
aspects of game theory can be used to formulate and solve
interactive situations that appear in communication networks
regularly. The second part of each chapter presents example
scenarios that demonstrate the applicability and power of the
theory illustrating a number of cooperative interactions and
discussing how they could be addressed within the theoretical
framework presented in the first part of the chapter.
The book also includes simulation code that can be downloaded so
you can use some or all of the proposed models to improve your own
network designs. Specific topics covered include network selection,
user-network interaction, network synthesis, and context-aware
security provisioning.
