Coalition Formation Game for Cooperative Cognitive Radio Using Gibbs Sampling
This paper considers a cognitive radio network in which each secondary user
selects a primary user to assist in order to get a chance of accessing the
primary user channel. Thus, each group of secondary users assisting the same
primary user forms a coaltion. Within each coalition, sequential relaying is
employed, and a relay ordering algorithm is used to make use of the relays in
an efficient manner. It is required then to find the optimal sets of secondary
users assisting each primary user such that the sum of their rates is
maximized. The problem is formulated as a coalition formation game, and a Gibbs
Sampling based algorithm is used to find the optimal coalition structure.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
