… Abstract—In this paper, an overlapping coalition formation game is proposed to conduct
joint interference management and resource allocation in device-to-device (D2D) …

… In this section, we will develop an overlapping coalition formation (OCF) game model to
solve the problem of cotier interference management in two-tier small cell networks. The goal is …

… The authors in [21] proposed an overlapping coalition formation game which obtained a
fair share of utility based on the concept of Shapley value in the wireless relay network (WRN). …

… Game theory, due to its self-organizing characteristic, has also been widely utilized to
design distributed approaches for interference management [26]. However, most of these …
