"Game Theory in Wireless Communications"

Wireless communication networks are undergoing a transformation, shifting network intelligence from the core network towards the edges of the network. Correspondingly, the process of decision making in wireless networks is migrating towards more distributed approaches. This calls for adoption of novel analytical approaches to capture the new degrees of freedom available for decision making processes in future communication technologies, fitting examples of which include femto-base-stations in beyond-3G systems and Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs).

Game theory provides a powerful mathematical framework that can accommodate the preferences and requirements of various stakeholders in a given process as regards the outcome of the process. The application of game theory to the modeling and analysis of wireless networks has received considerable attention in recent years. Game theoretic approaches are multifarious, including among others cooperative and non-cooperative models, static and dynamic games, single-shot and repeated games, and finite- and infinite-horizon games.

This special issue aims to bring together a comprehensive view of the application of game theoretic models to emerging wireless systems. We specially encourage studies that demonstrate the capabilities of game theory in wireless communication when other techniques have failed to produce insight, when complex wireless scenarios have helped advance game-theoretic models, and alternatively when limitations of game theory in practical wireless networks are captured. Hence, original previously un-published contributions are solicited in relevant topics, including but not limited to the following:

* Game theoretic approaches to the design of PHY and MAC layers in future cellular and broadband technologies * Game models for cognitive radio and self-organizing networks * Application of novel solution concepts such as equilibrium or core solutions in wireless scenarios * Wireless network analysis using dynamic, stochastic, super-modular and sub-modular games * Coalition formation and other cooperative strategies for wireless radio networks * Evolutionary game theory for wireless networks * Radio resource allocation and interference management * Distributed load balancing, congestion control policies and routing protocols based on game theory * Mechanism design in auctions and other wireless applications * Reinforcement and Q-learning for various wireless network equilibria, such as the correlated equilibrium * Analysis of security and privacy in wireless application via game theory * Utilization of imperfect/asymmetric information game models in wireless communications * Multi-armed and restless bandit problems and their application in modeling wireless networks
