Smart carrier sensing for distributed computation of the generalized nash bargaining solution
Amir Leshem, Ephraim Zehavi · 2011
In this paper we propose a smart multichannel extension of carrier sensing multiple access (SXMA) with collision avoidance as a distributed spectrum allocation technique using the Generalized Nash Bargaining solution (GNBS). The smart carrier sensing replaces the explicit CSI signalling required by standard approaches to cooperative game theoretic spectrum allocation in cognitive radio networks. It allows fast convergence of the network to a cooperative Pareto optimal point.
