This document summarizes game theory and auction approaches for encouraging cooperation in wireless networks. It first discusses how cooperative communication can improve wireless capacity by exploiting antennas across devices. However, applying cooperation is challenging because nodes lack incentives to help. The document surveys existing game theoretic solutions for providing cooperation incentives. It outlines classification of games, concepts like Nash equilibrium, and how game theory has been applied in contexts like the relay dilemma game and Stackelberg game to model node interactions and identify stable cooperation strategies.
FUZZY-CONTROLLED POWER-AWARE PROACTIVE-ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BASED BROADCASTING (FP...cscpconf
Network-wide broadcasting is a fundamental operation for mobile ad hoc networks. Inbroadcasting, a source node sends a message to all other nodes in the network. Under ordinary
flooding procedure, each node transmits the broadcast message to all of its 1-hop downlinkneighbours, i.e. all nodes residing within its radio-range. Receiving the broadcast message all those downlink neighbours reply with an acknowledgement. Since in an ad hoc network a node
may have multiple uplink neighbours, in ordinary flooding procedure, a node is supposed to receive the broadcast message from all those uplink neighbours and send acknowledgement to all of them, generating huge message contention and collision. This is popularly referred to as
the broadcast storm problem. The present article is focused to remove the broadcast redundancy within 2-hop neighbourhood and beyond, as much as possible by prioritizing the 1-
hop downlink neighbours of a node. Priority of a 1-hop downlink neighbour of a node ni increases if it is equipped with a large number of 1-hop downlink neighbours, large radiorange,
high remaining battery power and very small number of uplink neighbours closer to the broadcast source than ni
. ni waits a predefined amount of time to receive proactive
acknowledgements from the 1-hop downlink neighbours having less priority. If it does not receive acknowledgement from those downlink neighbours within the waiting time, it sends the
broadcast message to them. A fuzzy controller named Priority Assignor (PA) is embedded in every node that determines the priority of a 1-hop downlink neighbour. Simulation results firmly
establish that the proposed protocol FP2 B produces high broadcast delivery ratio at muchlesser message cost, compared to other state-of-the-art broadcast algorithms.
Rate Adaptation for Time Varying Channels Using Distributed Relay Selectionpaperpublications3
Abstract: Fixed systems used in cooperative communication suffer from multiplexing loss and low spectral efficiency due to the half duplex constraint of relays. To improve the multiplexing gain, successive relaying is proposed. This allows concurrent transmission of the source and relays. However, the severe inter-relay interference becomes a key challenge. Here Rate Adaptation for Time Varying Channels Using Distributed Relay Selection is proposed, which is capable of adapting the relay’s rate using distributed relay selection.

Dynamic Sub-Channel Allocation in Multiuser OFDM Systems to Achieve Variable ...IDES Editor
This paper investigates the problem of dynamic
multiuser subchannel allocation in the downlink OFDM
systems. In traditional TDMA or FDMA systems, resource
allocation for each user is non-adaptively fixed. Since the
subchannel allocations among the users are not optimized, a
group of users is likely to suffer from poor channel gains
resulting from large path loss and random fading. To resolve
this problem a low-complexity adaptive subchannel allocation
algorithm is proposed in this paper. By adaptively assigning
frequency subchannels, n take advantage of channel diversity
among users in different locations, which is called Multiuser
diversity. The capacity of MU-OFDM is maximized when each
subchannel is assigned to the user with the best channel-to-
noise ratio for that subchannel. However, fairness among the
users cannot generally be achieved with such a scheme. In this
paper, a set of proportional fairness constraints is imposed to
assure that each user achieve a required data rate, that ensures
quality of service. In the proposed algorithm, subchannel
allocation is performed by assuming an equal power
distribution.

Achieving Optimum Value of k in a K-fold Multicast Network with Buffer using ...cscpconf
Multicast network is widely used for effective communication, transmission and performance
optimizations of a network. In this paper, a new model has been developed to determine a
suitable value of the fold k of a k-fold multicast network under different traffic loads under
Poisson traffic with finite queue at each node. We have derived stationary distribution for the
network states and then derived expressions for the network throughput and the blocking
probability of the network. It has been found in this research work that the network throughput
increases very fast as we increase the fold number. However, at a certain value of the fold, the
blocking probability ceases to increase and it remains constant. We have also observed that as
the offered traffic is increased, the throughput also increases. Moreover, the system parameter k
is increased, the blocking probability decreases. However, after an optimum value of k, the
blocking probability remains constant for a particular value of the offered traffic. In fact, in this
paper, by evaluating the performance of a k-fold multicast network, our developed model improves the performance of a multicast network.
Performance Analysis of Bfsk Multi-Hop Communication Systems Over K-μ Fading ...ijwmn
Multi-hop communication systems gained popularity in wireless communications; they can be used to
extend the coverage of the network and reduce the transmitted power. The transmission of data from the
source node to the destination node in multi-hop communications undergoes through intermediate relay
nodes. In this paper, we study the performance of multi-hop communication systems, in terms of average bit
error rate (BER) with Binary frequency shift keying assuming the κ-µ fading channel model. Due to the
difficulty in finding the probability density function (PDF) of the end-to-end signal to noise ratio (SNR) and
hence for the performance metrics, we use Gaussian Mixture (GM) approximation technique to
approximate the PDF of the end to end SNR assuming the κ-µ fading models as weighted sums of Gaussian
distributions. Numerical results are provided for the BER of binary frequency shift keying (BFSK) of
amplify and forward (AF) multi-hop communication systems assuming different values for the fading
parameters (, ) and for different number of hops. Numerical results are validated by comparing them
with simulation results.
A Review on Partner Selection Techniques in Cooperative CommunicationAM Publications
Future generations of cellular communications requires higher data rates and a more reliable transmission
link with the growth of multimedia services, while keeping satisfactory quality of service. At the same time, the mobile
terminals must be simple, cheap, and smaller in size. MIMO antenna systems have been considered as an efficient
approach to direct these demands by offering significant multiplexing and diversity gains over single antenna systems
without increasing bandwidth and power. However, implementing multiple antennas at wireless terminal is not
realistic due to size, power, cost, and weight constraints. So, Virtual MIMO known as Cooperative Diversity was
introduced. In cooperative wireless networks, it is often the case that multiple sources and multiple partners
cooperate to transmit their data to destination. For the cooperative systems, selecting an appropriate partner node is
of prime importance. Cooperative communications can efficiently combat the severity of fading and shadowing
through the assistance of partners. This paper presents the different partner selection techniques to select an
appropriate partner to reduce transmission power and to improve overall performance of the wireless network.
Performance Analysis of Distributed Spatial Multiplexing with Multi-hop Ampli...IJCSEA Journal
This paper describes a frame work investigating the performance of distributed spatial multiplexing (DSM) in cooperative multi-hop cellular networks. The cooperative communication in cellular networks gives us leverage to get the inherent advantages of its random relay locations and the direction of the data flow. However, traditional centralized relay selection needs considerable overhead and signaling. In our proposed work, threshold based relay selection is adopted based on the received signal strength (RSS) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The best relay chosen will transmit jointly with source using Amplify and forward (AF) protocol. The evaluation is performed with bit error rate (BER) and energy per bit for distributed spatial multiplexing scheme with multi-hop networking.
Resource Allocation in MIMO – OFDM Communication System under Signal Strength...Kumar Goud
Abstract: - Multiple Inputs and Multiple Output (MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system have the potential to attain high capability on the propagation setting. The aim of this paper is that the adaptive resource allocation in MIMO-OFDM system uses the water filling formula. Water filling answer is enforced for allocating the ability so as to extend the data rate. The overall system capability is maximised subject to the constraints on total power, signal to noise quantitative relation, and proportionality. Channel is assumed as a flat attenuation channel and therefore the comparison is created for various 2×2, 2×3, 3×2 and 4×4 MIMO-OFDM systems and water filling formula with allotted power. Supported the capability contribution from the relaying terminal, a brand new parameter referred to as cooperation constant is introduced as an operate of the relaying sub channel. This parameter is employed to switch the target parameter of the subcarrier allocation procedure. Fairness-oriented [Fading Channel] and throughput-oriented [Near finish Channel] algorithms square measure elite from the literature to check the planned technique. Each algorithms square measure changed to use the mean of cooperation constant within the objective parameter of the subcarrier allocation procedure and shown to own a much better total turnout with none sacrifice.

EFFICIENT MULTI-PATH PROTOCOL FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSijwmn
Wireless sensor networks are useful for streaming multimedia in infrastructure-free and hazardous environments. However, these networks are quite different from their wired counterpart and are composed of nodes with constrained bandwidth and energy. Multiple-path transmission is one of the methods for ensuring QoS routing in both wired and wireless environment. Directed diffusion, a well known wireless sensor network protocol, only routes packets through a single path, which barely meets the throughput requirement of multimedia data. Instead, we propose a multipath algorithm based on directed diffusion that reinforces multiple routes with high link quality and low latency. This algorithm retains the merits of the original directed diffusion algorithms, including its energy efficiency and scalability. A hybrid metric of link quality and latency is used as the criterion for path selection. In order to select disjoint paths, we propose a scheme for reinforced nodes to respond negatively to multiple reinforcement messages. We use the NS-2 simulation tool with video trace generated by Multiple Description Coding (MDC) to evaluate the performance. The results show that our algorithm gives better throughput and delay performance, i.e higher video quality, than standard directed diffusion that transmits over a single path, with low overheads and energy consumption.

We refer to the problem of constructing broadcast trees with cost and delay constraints in the networks as a delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem in directed networks. Hence it is necessary determining a spanning tree of minimal cost to connect the source node to all nodes subject to delay constraints on broadcast routing. In this paper, we proposed a genetic algorithm for solving broadcast routing by finding the low-cost broadcast tree with minimum cost and delay constraints. In this research we present a genetic algorithm to find the broadcast routing tree of a given network in terms of its links. The algorithm uses the connection matrix of the given network to find the spanning trees and considers the weights of the links to obtain the minimum spanning tree. Our proposed algorithm is able to find a better solution, fast convergence speed and high reliability. The scalability and the performance of the algorithm with increasing number of network nodes are also encouraging.

A SIMULATION-BASED PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF MANETS CDS CREATION ALGORITHMS U...csandit
Mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs) are gaining increased interest due to their wide range of
potential applications in civilian and military sectors. The self-control, self-organization,
topology dynamism, and bandwidth limitation of the wireless communication channel make
implementation of MANETs a challenging task. The Connected Dominating Set (CDS) has been
proposed to facilitate MANETs realization. Minimizing the CDS size has several advantages;
however, this minimization is NP complete problem; therefore, approximation algorithms are
used to tackle this problem. The fastest CDS creation algorithm is Wu and Li algorithm;
however, it generates a relatively high signaling overhead. Utilizing the location information of
network members reduces the signaling overhead of Wu and Li algorithm. In this paper, we
compare the performance of Wu and Li algorithm with its Location-Information-Based version
under two types of Medium Access Control protocols, and several network sizes. The MAC
protocols used are: a virtual ideal MAC protocol, and the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. The use
of a virtual ideal MAC enables us to investigate how the real-world performance of these
algorithms deviates from their ideal-conditions counterpart. The simulator used in this research
is the ns-2 network simulator.

Energy saving in cooperative transmission using opportunistic protocol in MANETIOSR Journals
Abstract : In this thesis, we study the joint problems of cooperative link and diversity in A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) with variable wireless channels. In MANET the wireless nodes are in group and infrastructure less in nature. The major problems faced by wireless communication in real time environment are that of interference and un-reliable communication links. Much research work has been done to overcome this by using various techniques. Cooperative communication and transmission side diversity in the network are the two of the techniques that help in reducing interference and communication link failures. We have also proposed a new technique to find the optimum route as a joint problem of the transmission power at the physical layer and the link selection at the network layer that incurs the minimum cost in terms of energy, no. of hops, available bandwidth and link quality (SNR), outage probability. Analytical results show that our cooperative transmission schemes (OMCTSP) achieves average energy saving of more than 80% than direct transmission.

In wireless network communication, the energy efficiency is obtained from throughput of data transmission. During the network traffic and failure of data transmission, the energy efficiency and lifetime of network can be reduced in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). For this problem, we propose a duty cycling preservation scheme with Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). Interior Gateway Routing is used to preserve energy by reducing the network traffic in which the routing decisions are managed on network automatically. It reduces the workload on amount of data needs to be transferred, so the throughput is accomplished by EIGRP for WSN. The EIGRP based on diffused update algorithm to find the shortest path to goal of network. The duty cycling is commonly used for preserving energy effectively. In this process, the cluster heads play a major function in WSN. The aim of this paper is to extend a network lifetime and to preserve the energy by using EIGRP.
THE PERFORMANCE OF CONVOLUTIONAL CODING BASED COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION: RELAYIJCNCJournal
Wireless communication faces adversities due to noise, fading, and path loss. Multiple-Input MultipleOutput (MIMO) systems are used to overcome individual fading effect by employing transmit diversity. Duo to user single-antenna, Cooperation between at least two users is able to provide spatial diversity. This paper presents the evaluation of the performances of the Amplify and Forward (AF) cooperative system for different relay positions using several network topologies over Rayleigh and Rician fading channel. Furthermore, we present the performances of AF cooperative system with various power allocation. The results show that cooperative communication with convolutional coding shows an outperformance compared to the non-convolutional, which is a promising solution for high data-rate networks such as (WSN), Ad hoc, (IoT), and even mobile networks. When topologies are compared, the simulation shows that, linear topology offers the best BER performance, in contrast when the relay acts as source and the source take the relay place, the analysis result shows that, equilateral triangle topology has the best BER performance and stability, and the system performance with inter-user Rician fading channel is better than the performance of the system with inter-user Rayleigh fading channel.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF MIMO COOPERATIVE NETWORKS WITH ENERGY HARVESTING SENSOR ...ijasuc
This paper addresses the maximizing network lifetime problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) taking
into account the total Symbol Error rate (SER) at destination. Therefore, efficient power management is
needed for extend network lifetime. Our approach consists to provide the optimal transmission power
using the orthogonal multiple access channels between each sensor. In order to deeply study the
properties of our approach, firstly, the simple case is considered; the information sensed by the source
node passes by a single relay before reaching the destination node. Secondly, global case is studied; the
information passes by several relays. We consider, in the previous both cases, that the batteries are nonrechargeable. Thirdly, we spread our work the case where the batteries are rechargeable with unlimited
storage capacity. In all three cases, we suppose that Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) is used as a
detector, and Amplify and Forward (AF) as a relaying strategy. Simulation results show the viability of
our approach which the network lifetime is extended of more than 70.72%when the batteries are non

Performance evaluation of decode and forward cooperative diversity systems ov...IJECEIAES
Incremental relaying (IR) was developed to overcome the problems facing regular cooperative relaying methods. Out of the regular methods there is fixed relaying, in which, the relay transmits the source’s signal to the destination without considering the state of the channel. On the contrary, adaptive relaying techniques, including IR, are becoming popular among researchers nowadays; since they efficiently utilize the channel. In this paper, we studied the performance of a two-hop IR system that has decode and forward (DF) relays. Moreover, this system was analyzed over Nakagami-m fading channels, with the presence of various interferers positioned near the destination. As a result, the system suffered from co-channel interference. Remarkably, in this work, formulas were driven for the outage probability (OP) and the bit error rate (BER), and the assumptions were checked numerically.

Although unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were mostly studied and used for military purposes before, they
have become very popular recently for both civil uses, such as law enforcement and crop survey, and for
potential commercial uses such as grocery delivery and Internet extension. Researchers investigating new
networking protocols for UAV networks usually need the help of simulations to test their protocol designs,
particularly when networks of large scales are desired in their tests. One choice that researchers need to
make in the simulation of UAV networks is the radio propagation model for the air links. In this paper we
compare the three radio propagation models that are available in the ns2 network simulation package and
investigate if the choice of one particular model would have a significant impact on the simulation results
for UAV networks.

Abstract---Cooperative communication has great
potential to amend the wireless channel capacity by
exploiting the antennas on wireless contrivances for
spatial diversity. However, applications of cooperative
communication are marginally visually perceived in
authenticity. A main obstruction blocking its wide
applications is the lack of incentives for wireless nodes
to participate in cooperative communication. We first
survey the subsisting game theoretic solutions for
providing cooperation incentives in cooperative
communications. In this paper, we survey the most
conspicuous works dwelling within the literature, and
point towards paramount research directions.
Keywords—cooperativecommunications, game theory,
auction theory.
I. INTRODUCTION
Today cooperative communication is an active
area of research, and wireless devices are evolving
into multipurpose systems with data extensive
applications running on them, by this such
applications require strong error protection and high
speed connectivity. Those requirements, and along
with the exploding growth of wireless networks and
limited spectrum resources, have created capacity
crunch and high interference in today’s wireless
networks. This causes in situation that a move
towards the development of new wireless techniques
which can achieve a more efficient use of the
available spectrum or energy consumption. An
approach called cooperative communications
promises to deliver some of the benefits of multi-
input multi-output within the given constraints.
Cooperative communication refers to the
collaborative processing and retransmission of the
overheard information at those stations surrounding
the source. Because of the cooperation takes full
advantage of the nature of the wireless channel and
create diversity, in particular transmission diversity,
thereby achieving tremendous improvements in
system robustness, capacity, delay, interference, and
coverage range.
II. COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION
In wireless networks, cooperative transmission is
used as a means to combat channel fading (Fig.1). In
cooperative communications, relays are assigned to
help a source node to deliver its information to its
destination node. Since transmission in the wireless
channel is overheard by neighboring station which
can process these signals and retransmit them in
order to facilitate better reception. In these schemes,
some overhearing nodes are also involved in the
signal transmission by relaying the received signal
from the source to the destination. Cooperative
communications can achieve spatial diversity because
signals bearing the same information go through
uncorrelated channels introduced by cooperating
nodes [1]. Each node in a cooperative communication
transmits data of their own and acts a cooperative
agent for other nodes (Fig. 2).

2. Fig. 2: Each mobile node is both a user and a relay.
Cooperative transmission can obtain spatial
diversity without using multiple antennas, thus
achieving more reliable transmission or consuming
less power. Since wireless channels vary with time, a
source node may not always need help from a relay
node, Therefore it is more sensible that cooperation is
only initiated when it is necessary and beneficial and
secondly, one or more appropriate relay nodes need
to be selected among multiple potential helpers in the
network.
More generally a relay channel (RC) has many
device nodes, but only one source and sink. The
device nodes without sources and sinks are called
relays and aid communication, perhaps generously,
or through incentives, or competitively. Source node
doesn’t use the relay nodes if it leads to the capacity
lesser than its own direct transmission [9].
Cooperation among the nodes is required for
achieving the cooperative communication. Not all the
nodes will be willing to act as a relay node for it has
to consume its own resources and energy. Game
theory is used for analyzing and solving the problems
in a cooperative network.
Cooperative networks include three different
topologies: a) one- to- one, b) one- to- many, c)
many- to-one as depicted in Fig.3.
Fig.3.a) One-to-one
Fig3.b) one-to-many
Fig 3.c) many-to-one
Fig 3.Cooperative Communication topologies.
The cooperative communication is better
explained with one to one user model. Most
cooperative transmission schemes involve two phases
of transmission: a coordination phase, where users
exchange their own source data and control messages
with each other and/or the destination, and a
cooperation phase, where the users cooperatively
retransmit their messages to the destination.
A basic cooperation system consists of two users
transmitting to a common destination, as illustrated in
Fig. 4. At any instant in time, one user acts as the
source while the other user serves as the relay. In the
coordination phase (i.e., Phase I), the source user
broadcasts its data to both the relay and the
destination and, in the cooperation phase (i.e., Phase
II), the relay r forwards the source’s data (either by
itself or by cooperating with the source) to enhance
reception at the destination. The two users may
interchange their roles as source and relay at different
instants in time. To enable such cooperation among
users, different relay technology can be employed.

Relaying Technology:
There are several relaying techniques that can be
employed by the cooperating relays. We compute the
achievable capacity under cooperative
communications. When node u transmits a signal to
node v with power Pu, the signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) at node v, denoted by SNRuv, is
||,||0 vuN
P

Where N0 is the ambient noise, ||u,v|| is the
Euclidean distance between nodes u and v, and α is
the path loss exponent which is between 2 and 4 in
general, depending on the characteristics of the
communication medium.
A. Decode-and-Forward Relaying Scheme
Decode-and-forward (DF) relaying schemes refer
to cases where the relay explicitly decodes the
message transmitted by the source s and forwards a
newly generated signal to the destination d. These
schemes are also known as regenerative relaying
schemes. The achievable capacity from s to d is

B. Amplify-and-Forward Relaying Scheme
In amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying schemes,
the relay amplifies the analog signal received from
the source and forwards it to the destination (without
explicitly decoding or demodulating the messages or
symbols) . These schemes are also referred to as non-
regenerative relaying schemes. Here, relays need not
have knowledge of the encoding or modulation
schemes employed at the source. Moreover, in
addition to its low complexity, AF schemes are also
desirable when the quality of the s-r link is not
sufficient to guarantee reliable decoding at the relay.
In this case, amplifying the analog signal preserves
soft information that can be further exploited at the
destination. The achievable capacity from s to d is

C. Coded cooperation Relaying Scheme
In coded cooperation schemes different portions
of the same message are transmitted in the two
phases. Specifically, the source message is encoded
in the first portion of the codeword that is transmitted
by the source in Phase I and incremental redundancy
(e.g., in the form of extra parity symbols) can be
transmitted in the second portion of the codeword by
either the source or the relay in Phase II.
We adopt the cooperative communication model
wth analog network coding [2], where each group of
source nodes is assigned a single relay node. Denote
by W the amount of bandwidth a relay node can
utilize. Let Nrj be the white noise at relay node rj .
Given the transmission power Prj of relay node rj , the
channel capacity from source node si ∈ gk,where gk is
the group agent to which the source node belongs. to
destination node di through relay node rj can be
calculated by a simplified channel capacity model as

4. III. GAME THEORY
The essence of game theory is the formal study of
interactions between several decision-makers who
can have conflicting or common interests. By
interactions, it is meant that what the others do has an
impact on each decision-maker (called a player), and
what he/she gets from an interactive situation does
not only depend on his/her decisions. The mapping
from the components in a game to the elements in
cooperative communications is shown in Table I.

A strategic form game is an ordered triplet: G=(k,
{Si}i∈k, ≥i) Where K is the set of players, Si is the set
of strategies of player i, and ≥ i is a preference order
over the set of action profiles for player i. The
strategic form is the most used form, in both game
theory and wireless literature. It is generally more
convenient for mathematical analysis and is usable
for both discrete and continuous strategy sets. In fact,
the most common form relies on the existence of a
cost/reward/payoff/utility function for each player.
The utility of a player is the measurement function on
the possible outcome determined by the strategies of
all players and is denoted by ui. In wireless
communications, the performance metrics (e.g., the
quality of service) are generally known, which give
the utility functions to be used directly [4].
Forwarder’s dilemma:
Two source nodes want to send a packet to their
respective destination nodes. To reach its destination,
the packet has to go through an intermediate node
which is actually the other source node. Each source
node can decide to forward the packet to the
destination of the other source (Forward) or drop it
(Drop) (Fig.5) .
Fig 5: The communication scenario under study:
Each source node decides to forward the packet to
destinations and has to go through to another source
node. For this, each source node has to decide
simultaneously either to forward or drop the received
packets.
The utility of each source is assumed to have the
form “utility = benefit x cost” where the benefit is 1
if the packet is forwarded and 0 if it is dropped; the
cost of transmitting is c > 0.This is shown in tabular
form in Table II.
TABLE II
Forwarder’s dilemma in matrix form.
Classification of games:
A. Dynamic vs static games
Dynamic games generally assume that source
nodes can extract some information from past moves,
observations, and chosen strategies and take this into
account to adjust current and future moves. In static
games, source nodes have certain knowledge
(information assumptions, behavior assumptions) and
this does not change.
B. Cooperative vs non-cooperative games
In non-cooperative games, the individual goals
and strategies can be distinguished, whereas in
cooperative games this is not always possible. A key
distinction between the two types of game is to know
whether commitments are enforceable or not: in
cooperative games commitments are fully binding

5. and enforceable, while they are not in non-
cooperative games.
Scope of a game theory includes the discussions
on rationality, selfishness, interactions and the
solution concepts.
Rationality:
For implementing advanced game theoretic
algorithms in real systems, identifying the players
plays an important role in modeling the strategic
structure of the environment of a terminal.
Additionally, wireless networks also have some
specific features, which makes the problem of
rationality even more complicated. In heterogeneous
networks where players optimize different
performance criteria, some players can be perceived
as non-rational from a given other player’s point of
view. Of course, this depends on the knowledge of
the considered player.
Selfishness:
Modeling players as selfish decision-makers leads
to incorrect predictions. But in wireless games selfish
players are seems to be, in general, the most relevant
assumption.
Interaction:
A game corresponds to a situation where
(autonomous) decision-makers interact. The
interaction in wireless networks depends on the
scenario. Often interaction does exist because
terminals share common resources. For example,
when users exploit the same band at the same time, in
the same geographical area, some multiuser
interference occurs. Decisions made by the players
are inter-dependent,in the sense that their
performance metric depends on what the other
players do:this is the interaction through actions. It is
useful to know that there can be interaction between
players even if the player’s utility does not directly
depend on the actions of the others.
Solution Concepts
The best response is the strategy which produces
the most favorable outcome for a player, taking other
players' strategies. The concept of a best response is
central to John Nash's best-known contribution,
the Nash equilibrium, the point at which each player
in a game has selected the best response (or one of
the best responses) to the other players' strategies .If
Source node i chooses the action F (forward) the
best-response of Source node -i is to drop. If Source
node i chooses the action D (Drop) the best-response
of Source node -i is to drop. From this, the output of
the global best-response correspondence BR (see
1.14) equals (D,D) for all the four possible action
profiles. The unique fixed-point of this
correspondence is clearly (D,D) i.e. (0,0), which is
the unique Nash equilibrium of the game.
Extensive-form game :
An extensive-form game is a specification of a
game in game theory, allowing (as the name
suggests) explicit representation of a number of
important aspects, like the sequencing of players'
possible moves, their choices at every decision point,
the (possibly imperfect) information each player has
about the other player's moves when he makes a
decision, and his payoffs for all possible game
outcomes. Extensive-form games also allow
representation of information. The Stackelberg game
is an extensive form game, which is used to model
the competition between one player, called the leader,
and a set of players, called the followers. In this
game, the leader takes action first and then the
followers take actions. The leader knows ex ante that
the followers observe its action and take actions
accordingly. The NE in the Stackelberg game is
called Stackelberg Equilibrium.
In a nut shell game theory states that it is
common to be in situations where the outcome of a
situation depends not only on what we do, but also on
what other people do. This is clearly the case when
participating in an auction. In cooperative network
the players of the auction under consideration are
base stations, laptops, mobile phones, routers,
servers, and so on. Obviously, the engineers who
design these machines are directed by the economic
policy of their company or institution, which
indicates that identifying the players is not always
obvious in wireless communications. Nonetheless,
there is a difference between considering a telecoms
operator or a mobile phone to be a player – the nature
of the action or decision to be taken is different. For
an operator involved in a spectrum auction, the action
to be taken may be a price, whereas the possible
actions available to a mobile phone may be to decide
which access points or base stations to be connected
to [3]. Indeed, interaction between wireless terminals
like mobile phones is naturally present in wireless
networks, since interference often exists or/and
common resources must be shared.

6. IV. AUCTIONS IN COOPERATIVE NETWORK
An auction is a process of trading resources by
offering them up for bidding, and selling the items to
the highest bidder. In economic terms, it is also a
method to determine the value of a resource whose
price is unknown. An auction is organized by an
auctioneer, who distributes grid Market-Oriented
Resource Management and Scheduling. The
mechanism consists of determining the winner and
setting the price.
Auction schemes can be broadly classified into three
categories:
Pricing or credit based schemes
Reputation based schemes ; and
Commodity exchanged schemes.
Credit-based schemes consider packet forwarding as
a market model where nodes providing a service are
remunerated, whilst nodes receiving a service are
charged [5]. Hence, if a node wants to send its own
packets, it must forward packets for the benefit of
others. However, these schemes require tamper-
resistant hardware) or infrastructure-dependent credit
clearance that other nodes can trust [7], [8]. The
Reputation-based schemes discourage misbehavior
by estimating the nodes reputation and punishing
nodes with bad behavior .The scheme requires each
node to rate every other node with which it
communicates based on the service received or on
observing the behavior of neighbors by listening to
communications in the same transmission range.
According to the collected information, the reputation
system maintains a value for each observed node that
represents a reputation of its behavior. The reputation
mechanism allows avoiding sending packets through
misbehaving nodes [10]. In commodity exchange
mechanism, the source node takes other nodes as
relays for cooperative communication. In return, the
source node provides its own resource to help the
relay nodes achieve certain objectives.[6]
The auctions can be divided into three types
based on participants and commodity exchanged: a)
Single-sided auction, b) Double-sided auction, and c)
Combinatorial auctions.
A.Single-sided Auction:
Single-sided auctions are mechanisms, where only
buyers or sellers can submit bids or asks. Even
though the single-sided auction is the most widely
applied market model, it often leads to inefficient
allocation. The most prominent single sided auctions
are Vickrey Auction, Dutch Auction, First Price
Sealed Bid (FPSB), and English Auction.
English Auction: In the English auction, the
auctioneer begins the auction with a reserve price
(lowest acceptable price). Auction continues in
rounds with increasing bid prices, until there is
no price increase. The item is then sold to the
highest bidder.
Dutch Auction: In the Dutch auction the
auctioneer begins with a high asking price which
is lowered until some participant is willing to
accept the auctioneer’s price or a predetermined
minimum price is reached. That participant pays
the last announced price. This type of auction is
convenient when it is important to auction
resources quickly, since a sale never requires
more than one bid.
Vickrey Auction: A Vickrey auction is a sealed-
bid auction, where bidders submit sealed bids.
The highest bidder wins, paying the price of the
second highest bid. This gives bidders incentives
to bid their true value. When multiple identical
units are auctioned, one obvious generalization is
to have all bidders pay the amount of the highest
non-winning bid.
First Price Sealed Bid (FPSB) Auction: In this
type of auction, all bidders simultaneously
submit bids so that no bidder knows the bid of
any other participant. The highest bidder says the
price they submitted. In this case, the bid
strategy is a function of one’s private value and
the prior belief of other bidders’ valuations. The
best strategy is bid less than its true valuation
and it might still win the bid, but it all depends
on what the others bid.
B.Double Sided Auction:
In double auction, both providers and users submit
bids which are then ranked highest to lowest to
generate demand and supply profiles. From the
profiles, the maximum quantity exchanged can be
determined by matching selling offers (starting with
the lowest price and moving up) with demand bids
(starting with the highest price and moving down).
This format allows users to make offers and
providers to accept those offers at any particular
moment. In double auction, the winner determination
depends on different aspects such as aggregation,
resource divisibility and if goods are homogeneous or
are heterogeneous. Aggregation can come from the
supplier side or from the buyer side. If no
aggregation is allowed then each bid can be exactly
matched to one ask. Divisible goods can be allocated
partially. In the case that the bidder wants the entire
good or nothing then its bid is considered indivisible.

7. C. Combinatorial Auctions:
Users may require a combination of multiple
resources such as CPUs, memory and bandwidth.
Combinatorial auction allows users and providers to
trade a bundle of multiple resources. It is
advantageous to users as they do not need to
participate in multiple negotiations with providers for
each resource required. Moreover, in some cases it
also leads to cost benefits. In combinatorial auction,
users express their preferences as bundles of
resources that need to be matched. The providers
submit their tasks and the auctioneer solves the
optimization problem of allocation. The only
drawback of combinatorial auction is the NP-
hardness of the matching problem which makes it
inapplicable for large scale settings. Various variants
of combinatorial auction are proposed in the literature
to allocate computational resources among grid users.
Main Issues to be focused in auction mechanism:
Truthfulness implies that the dominant
strategy of each agent is to submit truthful
valuations of the products. It can be
achieved by unrelated bids of participating
agents to their payments [11],[12].
Budget Balance means that the total
payment received from the buyers is no less
than the total payment to the sellers in an
auction.
Individual Rationality means that no
winning buyer will be charged more than its
bid, and no winning seller will be paid less
than its ask.
V. CONCLUSION
In this article, we have briefly surveyed on the
game theory and auctions for the relay assignment in
cooperative communications, with the fixate on
designing cooperation incentive mechanisms. While
game theory has been extensively applied to
cooperative communications, there are still many
challenges to be resolved with an extra effort from
researchers.
