Potential Game Theory

This book offers a thorough examination of potential game theory and its applications in radio resource management for wireless communications systems and networking. 

The book provides a unifying mathematical framework where one can identify potential games to design relevant utilities and potential functions for radio resource allocation problems. It examines potential games through a series of related problems from the viewpoint of a wireless communications engineer.  With the proposed framework, this book also surveys existing applications of this technique in wireless communications and networking problems found in OFDMA 3/4G/WiFi networks, as well as next-generation systems, such as cognitive radios and dynamic spectrum access networks.

Professionals interested in understanding the theoretical aspect of this specialized field will find Potential Game Theory a valuable resource, as will advanced-level engineering students. It paves the way for extensive and rigorous research findings on a topic whose capacity for practical applications is vast but not yet fully exploited.
