“…One should be aware that to incentivize cooperation among the players of a game, it is not necessary to use a CG (see the discussion in 2.1.3 about Reputation and other incentives for cooperation). In the following sub-section, we discuss a variety of recent contributions of CGs to diverse facets of wireless access networks, viz: small cell networks [124] [189], wireless sensor networks [190] [191] [192], cellular communications [181] [193] [194], and cooperative repeated games [195] [196] [190] [30]. These are highly relevant for MEC/FC.…”

“…Thus, the game evolves to a state where the interference is tamed and QoS requirements are fulfilled. From the previous work in the scope of cooperative RGs, we have selected some recent contributions with the following goals: i) trade-off between load balancing and energy efficiency with extra mechanism to both discourage selfishness and ensure fairness [195]; ii) increase the total throughput of a mesh wireless network because selfish nodes are encouraged to cooperate under the threat of punishment [196]; and iii) delay tolerant networks [30].…”

“…The relevant technical networking aspects that mitigate congestion and empower the performance of MEC systems are traffic offloading [250][11] [251], D2D communication [170][54] [9], relaying [252] [196] [134], novel pricing schemes for peer-to-peer sharing platforms under incomplete information of users' service valuation [253], and Full Duplex (FD) communications [254]. The latter could enhance the performance of upcoming 5G wireless access technology [200][255] [256].…”

Game Theory (GT) has been used with significant success to formulate, and either design or optimize, the operation of many representative communications and networking scenarios. The games in these scenarios involve, as usual, diverse players with conflicting goals. This paper primarily surveys the literature that has applied theoretical games to wireless networks, emphasizing use cases of upcoming Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC). MEC is relatively new and offers cloud services at the network periphery, aiming to reduce service latency backhaul load, and enhance relevant operational aspects such as Quality of Experience or security. Our presentation of GT is focused on the major challenges imposed by MEC services over the wireless resources. The survey is divided into classical and evolutionary games. Then, our discussion proceeds to more specific aspects which have a considerable impact on the game's usefulness, namely: rational vs. evolving strategies, cooperation among players, available game information, the way the game is played (single turn, repeated), the game's model evaluation, and how the model results can be applied for both optimizing resource-constrained resources and balancing diverse trade-offs in real edge networking scenarios. Finally, we reflect on lessons learned, highlighting future trends and research directions for applying theoretical model games in upcoming MEC services, considering both network design issues and usage scenarios.

Abstract-In order to mitigate the shortage of wireless spectrum, the appealing concepts of cooperative communication techniques and cognitive radio networks have been combined for the sake of improving the spectral efficiency and hence the overall system throughput. We mainly survey the overlay spectrum access scheme in this novel cooperative cognitive radio (CCR) network context. Therefore the interference between the Licensed Users/Primary Users (PUs) and the Unlicensed Users/Cognitive Users (CUs) can be offset by relying on some of the CUs to act as Relay Nodes (RN). More specifically, we have investigated the cooperative relaying technique in the context of the overlay spectrum access scheme aiming for allowing the PUs to transmit at a lower power and/or at a higher throughput, while at the same time enabling the CUs to communicate using the bandwidth released. Additionally, gaming techniques can be employed for negotiating between the PUs and the CUs for determining the specific fraction of relaying and active transmission time. Therefore, we will consider two main schemes in the overlay spectrum access scheme based on the CCR network, which are the frequency division based channel as well as the timedivision based channel. Moreover, we have surveyed the relevant advances concerning the game-based model of the overlay-based CR network. Specifically, both the family of non-cooperative and cooperative games as well as matching games have been reviewed. Furthermore, we will review the joint design of coding, modulation, user-cooperation and CCR techniques, which leads to significant mutual benefits for both the PUs and CUs.

“…Game theory is extensively used for radio resource management including the power control, [24][25][26][27][28] spectrum sharing, 8,[29][30][31] spectrum access, [32][33][34][35] channel selection, 36,37 and congestion control. [38][39][40] However, most of them concentrated on characterization, description, and identification of equilibrium solutions, eg, Nash equilibrium and Nash bargaining solution.…”

Radio resource management is important for wireless communication networks. Game theory has been extensively used to model, analyze, and design interactive behaviors and the strategic decision‐making for radio resource management. It is known that utility function is one of the critical elements in a game, which characterizes the preferred relationship of the rational players and is a function of the action of players and their opponents. We first overview the basics of game theory and utility functions. We then present a taxonomy of utility functions with respect to different types of players, the nature of actions, and preferences in terms of the fairness, quality of service, and quality of experience. We provide some insights based on the taxonomy of utility functions, which provides the readers with a comprehensive view. Following that, we also discuss other types of traffic‐aware utility functions with different fairness and the potential and super modular game‐theoretic utility functions. In addition, we summarize the desired properties and observations for the design of suitable utility functions. Finally, we investigate impacts of the pricing in utility functions. This article ends with the conclusions and a promising view on open problems and challenges with possible future research directions.
