Optimal Channel Design: A Game Theoretical Analysis

Optimal Design of Open Channel Sections Using PSO Algorithm

This paper applies an evolutionary algorithm, the particle swarm optimization (PSO), to design the optimum open channel section. Depth, channel side slope and bottom width are considered as the variables for rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal channels, respectively. The objective function is minimizing the construction cost of the channel section. MATLAB software is used for programming an...

Channel Access in D2D Multiuser Networks: A Game Theoretical Approach

In this paper we consider allocation of the uplink resource of a cellular user to a group of Device-to-Device (D2D) links communicating in pairs to enhance the overall system throughput and achieve higher spectral efficiency in multiuser networks. We present a coalition game model for coalition formation decisions which ensures that interference does not exceed an acceptable limit and guarantee...

Optimal Investment in Information System Security: A Game Theoretical Approach

A Game Theoretical View of Byzantine Fault Tolerance Design

In this paper, we investigate the optimal Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) design strategies from a game theoretical point of view. The problem of BFT is formulated as a constant-sum game played by the BFT system (defender) and its adversary (attacker). The defender resorts to replication to ensure high reliability and availability, while the attacker injects faults to the defender with the purp...

Efficient Medium Access Control Design – A Game Theoretical Approach

In this paper, we address the question that how to design efficient MAC protocols in selfish and noncooperative networks, which is crucial in nowadays open environments. We model the medium access control problem as a non-cooperative game in which the MAC protocol can be regarded as distributed strategy update scheme approaching the equilibrium point. Under such game theoretical framework, thre...
