"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
