Game theoretical mechanism design methods

Dynamic spectrum access with cognitive radios has become a promising approach to improve spectrum efficiency by adaptively coordinating different users' access according to spectrum dynamics. However, selfish users competing with each other for spectrum may exchange false private information or collude with others to get more access to the spectrum and achieve higher profits. In this article, we investigate two game-theoretical mechanism design methods to suppress cheating and collusion behavior of selfish users: a self-enforcing truth-telling mechanism for unlicensed spectrum sharing and a collusion-resistant multistage dynamic spectrum pricing game for licensed spectrum sharing.
