TL;DR: This paper proposes a simple best-response algorithm that solves the constrained rate maximization of cognitive radio networks with the multi-channel ALOHA medium access protocol and extends the model to the case where primary and secondary users co-exist in the same frequency band.
Abstract: In this paper we consider the problem of distributed throughput maximization of cognitive radio networks with the multi-channel ALOHA medium access protocol. First, we characterize the Nash Equilibrium Points (NEPs) of the network when users solve an unconstrained rate maximization (i.e., the total transmission probability equals one). Then, we focus on constrained rate maximization, where user rates are subject to a total transmission probability constraint. We propose a simple best-response algorithm that solves the constrained rate maximization, where each user updates its strategy using its local channel state information (CSI) and by monitoring the channel utilization. We prove the convergence of the proposed algorithm using the theory of potential games. Furthermore, we show that the network approaches a unique equilibrium as the number of users increases. Then, we formulate the problem of choosing the access probability as a leader-followers Stackelberg game, where a single user is chosen to be the leader to manage the network. We show that a fully distributed setup can be applied to approximately optimize the network throughput for a large number of users. Finally, we extend the model to the case where primary and secondary users co-exist in the same frequency band.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how the number of Stackelberg leaders and followers aects economic welfare and show that, under constant marginal costs, the M2 (0;N) model yields a higher welfare than the Cournot model (m = 0 or n = 1).
Abstract: We investigate how the number of Stackelberg leaders and followers aects economic welfare. First, we discuss the model with m leaders and N-m followers compete in a homogeneous good market. Daughety (1990) nds that, under constant marginal costs, the Stackelberg model (m2 (0;N)) yield a higher welfare than the Cournot model (m = 0 or

TL;DR: A Stackelberg game-based framework in which EUs and MECs act as followers and leaders, respectively is proposed in which each MEC achieves the maximum revenue while each EU obtains utility-maximized resources under budget constraints.

TL;DR: The set ofEquilibria with espionage is characterized as a sunset of the set of correlated equilibria, which turns out to depend on the difference between the Stackelberg equilibrium payoffs and the SPE payoffs.
