Resource Allocation in Cooperative Cognitive Maritime Wireless Mesh/Ad Hoc Networks: An Game Theory View

In this paper, an innovative paradigm cooperative cognitive maritime wireless mesh/ad hoc networks (CCMWMAN) is proposed to provide high-speed and low-cost communications for maritime environment. The framework of CCMWMAN is exploited firstly, as well as the analysis of available white space at sea as well as the regulation requirement and standards relatively, to efficiently use the limited frequency resource. Specially, game theory method is applied within the cooperative SUs. An symmetrical system model is constructed, and a price game based on a payoff function is proposed. Then we describe the game theory process to converge to Nash equilibrium, which is verified the results effectiveness of proposed scheme. The simulation results show that the strategy can effectively increases the payoffs of the system.
