Cooperation in wireless networks allows single antenna devices to improve their
performance by forming virtual multiple antenna systems. However, performing a distributed …

While still early in its development, cognitive radio is a highly promising communications
paradigm that can effectively address the spectrum insufficiency problem. This book …

Cooperation between rational users in wireless networks is studied using coalitional game
theory. Using the rate achieved by a user as its utility, it is shown that the stable coalition …

Although establishing cooperation in a wireless network is a dynamic process, most game
theoretic coalition formation models proposed in the literature are static. We analyze a …

We consider the problem of two wireless networks operating on the same (presumably
unlicensed) frequency band. Pairs within a given network cooperate with one another, but …

This dissertation has been submitted to the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at
the University of Oslo in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Philosophiae …

The formation of coalitions in a Gaussian interference channel where the receivers are
allowed to cooperate is studied under the framework of coalitional game theory. Allowing …

In wireless ad hoc networks, routing needs cooperation of nodes. Since nodes often belong
to different users, it is highly important to provide incentives for them to cooperate. However …

We formulate the problem of distributed throughput-efficient sensing in cognitive radio (CR)
networks as a dynamic coalition formation game based on a Markovian model. The …

Dynamic spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks were proposed to enhance the
Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum utilization. However, there are several challenges to realize …
