Game Theory in Signal Processing and Communications

Call for Papers

Game theory is a branch of mathematics aimed at the modeling and understanding of rational behavior in strategic situations. In the last decade, game theory has been applied to solve conflict problems in economics, and has found important applications in politics, sociology, psychology, and transportation. Game theory has more recently been employed to model and analyze modern communication systems, such as power control in wireless networks and routing in wire line networks. Also, it provides a structured approach to many important signal processing problems, including cognitive radio, waveform design, and dynamic spectrum access. Game theory is successfully applied to design decentralized algorithms and robust signal processing methods in various deployment scenarios.

This special issue aims to promote the field of game theory to the signal processing audience. We are soliciting high-quality unpublished research papers addressing the theory and practice of game theory in signal processing and communications. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Static non-cooperative games (Nash and Stackelberg equilibria)
  • Finite and infinite dynamic games
  • Cooperative (bargaining) game theory
  • Auctions, coalitions, and pricing
  • Game theory for resource allocation in communications
  • Game theory for adaptive waveform design
  • Game theory for cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access
  • Stochastic games, repeated games, and fading channels
  • Development of decentralized algorithms using game theory
