This is the first comprehensive tutorial on game theory and its application to wireless communications. The book starts with a guide to the essential principles of game theory relevant to the communications engineer, giving tools that can be used to develop applications in wireless communications. It explains how game theory models can be applied to distributed resource allocation in a perfect world. Having clarified how the models can be applied in principle, the book then gives practical implementation methods for the real world, showing how the models in the perfect world need to be adapted to real life situations which are far from perfect. The first tutorial style book that gives all the relevant theory, at the right level of rigour, for the wireless communications engineer Bridges the gap between theory and practice by giving examples and case studies showing how game theory can solve real world resource allocation problems Contains algorithms and techniques to implement game theory in wireless terminals.

Many multiagent dynamics can be modeled as a stochastic process in which the agents in the system change their state over time in interaction with each other. The Gillespie algorithms are popular algorithms that exactly simulate such stochastic multiagent dynamics when each state change is driven by a discrete event, the dynamics is defined in continuous time, and the stochastic law of event occurrence is governed by independent Poisson processes. The first main part of this volume provides a tutorial on the Gillespie algorithms focusing on simulation of social multiagent dynamics occurring in populations and networks. The authors clarify why one should use the continuous-time models and the Gillespie algorithms in many cases, instead of easier-to-understand discrete-time models. The remainder of the Element reviews recent extensions of the Gillespie algorithms aiming to add more reality to the model (i.e., non-Poissonian cases) or to speed up the simulations. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
