Coalition Formation Game for Cooperative Content Delivery in Network Coding Assisted D2D Communications
Device-to-device (D2D) communications have shown a huge potential in cellular offloading and become a potential technology in 5G and beyond. In D2D networks, the requested contents by user devices (UDs) can be delivered via D2D links, thus offloading the content providers (CPs). In this work, we address the problem of minimizing the delay of delivering content in a decentralized and partially D2D connected network using network coding (NC) and cooperation among the UDs. The proposed optimization framework considers UDs’ acquired and missing contents, their limited coverage zones, NC, and content’s erasure probability. As such, the completion time for delivering all missing contents to all UDs is minimized. The problem is modeled as a coalition game with cooperative-players wherein the payoff function is derived so that increasing individual payoff results in the desired cooperative behavior. Given the intractability of the formulation, the coalition game is relaxed to a coalition formation game (CFG). A distributed coalition formation algorithm relying on merge-and-split rules is developed for solving the relaxed problem at each transmission. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is validated through computer simulation against existing schemes

Complexity and monitoring of economic operations using a game-theoretic model for cloud computing
In this study, a model is presented for allocating cloud computing resources based on
economic considerations using tools from game theory. The model, called the Non-Cooperative
Game Resource Allocation Algorithm (NCGRAA), is designed to achieve the optimum stage in
cloud computing. In addition, the Bargaining Game Resource Allocation Algorithm (BGRAA) is
introduced to the existing system to develop the billing process within the constraints of availability
and fairness. This system-based algorithm implements methods for converging on and improving
the Nash Equilibrium and Nash Bargaining solutions. While the Nash equilibrium helps to develop
decision-making concepts with game theory, one of its main goals is to achieve the desired outcome
and avoid deviation from the working stage. Nash Bargaining is a unique solution that occurs
between two parties and takes into account the process of bargaining to provide a fair solution
that is scale invariant and independent. In recent years, cloud computing has become a popular
way to manage computing services and enable producers and consumers to interact. This process
allows users to obtain goods at an affordable cost from sellers according to their expectations. This
research investigates the economic operation monitoring of cloud computing using the gaming theory
model. A Static Negotiation Analysis Method with a Bargaining Process (SNAM-BP) for a dynamic
conceptual framework is presented to display the weighted relationship between primary issues and
keywords used to evaluate the potential partnership of each country.Web of Science112art. no. 5
