Title

A Game Theoretic Framework For Distributed Self-Coexistence Among Ieee 802.22 Networks

Abstract

The cognitive radio based IEEE 802.22 wireless regional area network (WRAN) is designed to operate in the under-utilized TV bands by detecting and avoiding primary TV transmission bands in a timely manner. Such networks, deployed by competing wireless service providers, would have to self- coexist by accessing different parts of the available spectrum in a distributed manner. Obviously, the goal of every network is to acquire a clear spectrum chunk free of interference from other IEEE 802.22 networks so as to satisfy the QoS of the services delivered to the end-users. In this paper, we study the distributed WRAN self-coexistence problem from a minority game theoretic perspective. We model the spectrum band switching game where the networks try to minimize their cost in finding a clear band. We propose a mixed strategy that the competing networks must adhere to in order to achieve the Nash equilibrium. Simulation experiments have also been conducted and results corroborate with the theoretical analysis. © 2008 IEEE.
