Evolutionary coalitional games: design and challenges in wireless networks

Abstract

The current state of the art of evolutionary coalitional game theory in wireless networking and communications is captured in this article, where solutions are discussed under their related applications. Fully distributed algorithms for global optima in network selection games are examined. Then the problem of dynamic network formation and evolutionary coalitional games in wireless networks are investigated. This article also points out the open research issues, new interests, and developments in this interdisciplinary field.
