The demand for wireless communications is growing with a tremendous pace. Game theory has shown to be a robust tool to address problems with resource assignment. The course aims to highlight applications in wireless communication by classifying game-theory methods with regards to the specific use cases of resource sharing in wireless networks, ranging from power assignment and channel allocation to medium access control and transmission scheduling. For the identified cases, the course also aims to enable the doctoral students to undertake the study of selfish behaviour and to choose and apply suitable incentive schemes to enforce cooperation among participating network entities to achieve globally efficient resource sharing.
