Game-theoretic Interference Coordination Approaches for Dynamic Spectrum Access

This book is written by subject experts based on the recent research results in dynamic spectrum access for cognitive radio networks. It establishes a game-theoretic framework and presents the cutting-edge technologies for distributed interference coordination. With game-theoretic formulation and the designed distributed learning algorithms, it provides insights on the interactions among multiple decision-makers and the converging stable states. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of cognitive radio networks can benefit from the book. As such, this book provides valuable knowledge, useful methods and practical algorithms that can be considered in emerging 5G wireless communication.
