Dynamic Pricing Coalitional Game for Cognitive Radio Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a hierarchical game theoretic model for cognitive radio (CR) networks in which primary users (PU) set the price to charge secondary users (SU) for accessing the licensed spectrum and SUs optimize their transmit powers according to the price imposed by PUs. Pricing strategies can be tailored to steer SUs to a Stackelberg equilibrium. We establish a coalition formation game framework to study the possible cooperation among PUs. In our framework, the PUs who can detect the same SUs form a coalition to select the pricing function as long as each member of the coalition is allocated a fair share of the payoff. We show that allowing all PUs to cooperatively decide the price for every SU is generally not the optimal solution. We then propose a distributed algorithm that allows PUs to dynamically approach a unique and stable partition of the grand coalition, as well as a Stackelberg equilibrium point of the hierarchical game.

متن کاملGame Theoretical Mechanism Design for Cognitive Radio Networks with Selfish Users
Dynamic spectrum access with cognitive radios has become a promising approach to improve spectrum efficiency by adaptively coordinating different users’ access according to spectrum dynamics. However, selfish users competing with each other for spectrum may exchange false private information or collude with others, in order to get more access to the spectrum and achieve higher profits. In this ...
متن کاملSpectrum sharing in multi-channel cooperative cognitive radio networks: a coalitional game approach
In this paper, we study a coalitional game approach to resource allocation in a multi-channel cooperative cognitive radio network with multiple primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs). We propose to form the grand coalition by grouping all PUs and SUs in a set, where each PU can lease its spectrum to all SUs in a time-division manner while the SUs in return assist PUs’ data transmission a...
