With the recent deployment of fourth generation technology (4G), the fifth generation of mobile communication technology (5G) is slowly emerging to support the Internet of Things (IoT), where millions of sensors and mobile devices will be deployed in order to provide data for smart homes, smart buildings and smart cities. 5G networks will have to handle data (collection, storage, mining, analysis, etc.) gathered from a very diverse set of sources like traffic, weather, security incidents, and crowds, and additional issues surfacing due to IoT deployment and the increasing use of wearable devices. Since any communication network, such as IoT, is a multi-entity system, decisions are taken by different system entities. All entities are motivated to make decisions that optimize their own potential benefit, whether this is experience, profit, resource usage or any other factor that may result in high utility measurements or high satisfaction for these entities.
This book shows how to model selected communication scenarios using game theory. The book helps researchers specifically dealing with scenarios motivated by the increasing use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G Communications by using game theory to approach the study of such challenging scenarios. The author explains how game theory acts as a mathematical tool that models decision making in terms of strategies and mechanisms that can result in optimal payoffs for a number of interacting entities, offering often antagonistic behaviors. The book explores new technologies in terms of design, development and management from a theoretical perspective, using game theory to analyze strategic situations and demonstrate profitable behaviors of the cooperative entities.
The book identifies and explores several significant applications/uses/situations that arise from the vast deployment of the IoT. The presentation of the technological scenarios is followed in each of the first four chapters by a step-by-step theoretical model often followed by equilibrium proof, and numerical simulation results, that are explained in a tutorial-like manner. The four chapters tackle challenging IoT and 5G related issues, including: new security threats that IoT brings, e.g. botnets, ad hoc vehicular networks and the need for trust in vehicular communications, content repetition by offloading traffic onto mobile users, as well as issues due to new wearable devices that enable data collection to become more intrusive.
- Teaches how to model a specific communications scenario using game theoretic tools;
- Explores current trends in communication technology scenarios for 5G and the Internet of Things;
- Presents new technologies using game theory to analyze strategic situations.
