Applications of Game Theory for Physical Layer Security

This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the domain of game theory based physical layer security in wireless communications. By exploiting the wireless channel characteristic and secure cooperation of nodes, physical layer security is to enable the exchange of confidential messages over a wireless medium in the presence of unauthorized eavesdroppers, without relying on higher-layer encryption. However, the selfness of nodes seriously affects the secure cooperation; game theory can model the influence of the selfness on physical layer security. This chapter firstly describes the physical layer security issues in the wireless networks and the role of game theory in the research on physical layer security. And then the typical applications of game theory in physical layer security are subsequently covered, including zero-sum game, Stackelberg game, auction theory, coalition game. Finally, the chapter concludes with observations on potential research directions in this area.
