Game Theory in Communication Networks

Focusing on heterogeneous networks, this book addresses important resource management and security issues found in networks and uses theoretical tools to model them. Although it explores network design and management from the theoretical perspective of game theory and graph theory, the text also provides solutions for each mechanism that needs improvement by presenting a step-by-step approach. The book also includes simulation code, so practitioners can use some or all of the proposed models for better network planning. Topics covered include network selection, user-network interaction, network synthesis, and context-aware security provisioning.
