Applications of Game Theory for Radio Resource Management in Wireless Networks Vaggelis G. Dourosdouros@aueb.gr «ΤΟ ΟΠΑ ΕΡΕΥΝΑ» 11.03.2014
Outline 1994, Nobel Econ. 2001 Grand Bazaar, IST
Motivation & Challenges(1) • “The number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the world’s population by 2014”, Cisco, 2014 • Map of Fon Wi-Fi APs in (part of) London, April 2013 • via http://corp.fon.com/maps
Motivation & Challenges(2) • via wikipedia: Europe mobile phone penetrationmap
Motivation & Challenges(3) • Too many devices coexist in the same area • and compete for radio spectrum • (-) very limited resource • The problem: (-) Too much interference • The challenge: (How) Can we control it? National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Spectrum Map, USA, 2012
On the Interference Mitigation in Wireless Networks Through… • Power control (PC): How to choose the transmission power to achieve a Quality of Service (QoS) target • Some challenges for a successful power control algorithm [1] http://wcdma3g.blogspot.gr/
Power Control Using Game Theory • We focus on scenarios where nodes have differentQoS targets and (at least some of) them are autonomous (e.g., APs) • We need distributed power control schemes • Competition for resources among players • =(non-cooperative) game theory • Key Issues/Our Roadmap: • Has the game a Nash Equilibrium (NE)? • How can we find it? • Is it unique? If not, which to choose? • Is it (Pareto) efficient?
Non-Cooperative Power Control in Small Cell Networks [2] • low-power devices that operate in licensed spectrum • More devices…more interference! • Two-tier small cell network • Our work: Study efficient coexistence with GT http://www.smallcellforum.org
Power Control & Bargaining for Wireless Providers Revenue Improvement • Both Blue and Gold providers transmit at Pmax and earn X and Y € • Our work: Can we do it better? • Blue makes a ‘take it or leave it’ offer to the Gold • “I give you E €to reduce your power t times” • X’-E>X • Gold accepts iffY’+E>Y • Win-win scenario
Trunc(ated) Power Control [Zander, TVT ’92] (-)Unfair for this node – no opportunity to achieve its target More importantly: how to oblige an autonomous entity to power off? Power Control Using Bargaining in Wireless Devices (1) [3] I am 15% below my QoStarget I am 20% below my QoStarget I achieved my QoStarget I am 40% below my QoStarget
We cannot dictate to an AP to power off/reduce its power! Our work: Unsatisfied links negotiate in pairs. Each one uses part of its budget to make an offer to the other Power Control Using Bargaining in Wireless Devices (2) I offer you 100 credits if you reduce your power 20% I am 15% below my QoStarget OK! No thanks! I am 20% below my QoStarget I achieved my QoStarget I am 40% below my QoStarget
Channel Access in Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication [4] • More devices…more interference • Our work: Channel access in D2D scenarios which device should transmit/receive data when • Devices decide autonomously using game theory
Glimpses of the Future • We have a lot to do! Your contributions are welcome! ;-)
