Employing Minority Games in self-organizing wireless networks: Dynamic channel allocation

Abstract

Designing distributed protocols with limited requirements for exchange of feedback information between the nodes is a key element in the development of cognitive and self-organizing ad hoc networks. We argue that the Minority Game (MG) and its variations can constitute useful tools towards this direction. In particular, the MG formulation is well suited for addressing a variety of resource allocation problems in self-organizing wireless networks. In this paper we illustrate the employment of MGs by presenting a paradigm of an MG-based model for dynamic channel allocation.
