In this paper the issue of energy efficiency in CDMA wireless data networks is addressed through a game theoretic approach. Building on a recent paper by the first two authors, wherein a non-cooperative game for spreading-code optimization, power control, and receiver design has been proposed to maximize the ratio of data throughput to transmit power for each active user, a stochastic algorithm...

Attack–defense trees are used to describe security weaknesses of a system and possible countermeasures. In this paper, the connection between attack–defense trees and game theory is made explicit. We show that attack–defense trees and binary zero-sum two-player extensive form games have equivalent expressive power when considering satisfiability, in the sense that they can be converted into eac...

In recent years, control of smart grids that match electricity demand in different sites and forms with supply has been considered as one of the most difficult aspect of smart energy grids design. In this paper we present a Cellular Automata (CA) based approach combined with Game Theory for the enhancement of Power Management Strategies (PMSs) of multiple Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HYRES)...

A new type of motor that utilizes multilayer piezoelectric devices for electromechanical power conversion and mechanism of the strain wave gearing for generation of traveling motive force is proposed in this paper. The construction, basic operation, and torque generation mechanism of the motor are described. The motor can be operated in variable frequency. Experimental results on the prototype ...

The main fundamental question in cooperative game theory is the question how to allocate the total generated wealth by the collective of all players—the player set N itself—over the different players in the game. In other words, what binding contract between the players in N has to be written? Various criteria have been developed. In this chapter I investigate contracts that are stable against ...

This note proposes two equilibrium selection methods and applies them to the power allocation game developed in [1]. The first method has the game take place on a sequence of time-varying graphs, which redefines the PAG in an extensive form game framework, and selects the subgame perfect Nash equilibria. The second method has the power allocation game take place on a different sequence of time-...

This work aims at developing a distributed power control algorithm for energy efficiency maximization (measured in bit/Joule) in wireless networks. Unlike most previous works, a new formulation is proposed to jointly account for the energy efficiency and communication delay while ensuring quality-ofservice constraints. A non-cooperative game-theoretic approach is taken, and feasibility conditio...

abstract: In the present work, determining the optimal strategy(profit based) of multi virtual power plants (VPPs) as well as the objective of maximizing profit through the multi-level control of VPPs are discussed by the micro-grid utilization center including virtual power plants. VPPs include renewable resources such as wind farms, photovoltaic, and conventional resources such as fuel cell, ...

In wireless powered sensor networks (WPSN), it is essential to research uplink transmit power control in order to achieve throughput performance balancing and energy scheduling. Each sensor should have an optimal transmit power level for revenue maximization. In this paper, we discuss a dynamic game-based algorithm for optimal power control in WPSN. The main idea is to use the non-cooperative d...

Resource allocation in wireless ad hoc networks is usually modelled in a non-cooperative game theoretic framework with the objective of maximising individual utility. However, the selfishness of autonomous users under such framework may lead to throughput unfairness which only benefits certain users. To alleviate this unfairness problem, the authors propose a payment-based power control scheme ...
