Quality-Optimized Joint Source Selection and Power Control for Wireless Multimedia D2D Communication Using Stackelberg Game

In wireless device-to-device (D2D) networks, devices are reluctant to forward packets because of limited energy and possible delays for their own data. The incentive mechanisms that motivate devices to constitute direct communication for wireless multimedia quality optimality in D2D systems have been overlooked in the past. In this paper, we propose a new low-complexity distributed game-theoretic source selection and power control scheme that enhances the multimedia transmission quality with latency constraints. This approach has two major contributions. First, the proposed approach optimally selects the most beneficial source devices by analyzing the interactions between the base station's (BS's) rewarding strategies (denoted by price) and the devices' contributing behaviors (denoted by transmission power) using a Stackelberg game model. Second, optimal transmission power is adjusted for each selected source device in D2D networks by deriving Stackelberg equilibrium, wherein the BS and the device both achieve maximum utility. Computer simulations demonstrate that significant improvement in D2D multimedia transmission quality can be obtained by deploying the proposed scheme.
