Game Theory for Next Generation Wireless and Communication Networks

Discover the very latest game-theoretic approaches for designing, modeling, and opti-
mizing emerging wireless communication networks and systems with this unique text.
Providing a unified and comprehensive treatment throughout, it explains basic concepts
and theories for designing novel distributed wireless networking mechanisms, describes
emerging game-theoretic tools from an engineering perspective, and provides an exten-
sive overview of recent applications. A wealth of new tools is covered – including
matching theory and games with bounded rationality – and tutorial chapters show how to
use these tools to solve current and future wireless networking problems in areas such
as 5G networks, network virtualization, software defined networks, cloud computing,
the Internet of Things, context-aware networks, green communications, and security.
This is an ideal resource for telecommunications engineers and researchers in industry
and academia who are working on the design of efficient, scalable, and robust commu-
nication protocols for future wireless networks, as well as graduate students in these
fields.
