Abstract

The behavior of a given wireless station may affect the communication capabilities of a neighboring one, notably because the radio communication channel is usually shared in wireless networks. In this tutorial, we carefully explain how situations of this kind can be modelled by making use of game theory. By leveraging on four simple running examples, we introduce the most fundamental concepts of non-cooperative game theory. This approach should help students and scholars to quickly master this fascinating analytical tool without having to read the existing lengthy, economics-oriented books; it should also assist them in modelling the problems of their own.

Wireless network

A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Admin telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.

Wireless

Wireless communication (or just wireless, when the context allows) is the transfer of information (telecommunication) between two or more points without the use of an electrical conductor, optical fiber or other continuous guided medium for the transfer. The most common wireless technologies use radio waves. With radio waves, intended distances can be short, such as a few meters for Bluetooth or as far as millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications.

Cooperative game theory

In game theory, a cooperative game (or coalitional game) is a game with competition between groups of players ("coalitions") due to the possibility of external enforcement of cooperative behavior (e.g. through contract law). Those are opposed to non-cooperative games in which there is either no possibility to forge alliances or all agreements need to be self-enforcing (e.g. through credible threats). Cooperative games are often analysed through the framework of cooperative game theory, which focuses on predicting which coalitions will form, the joint actions that groups take and the resulting collective payoffs.
