Abstract
The ability to model individual, independent decision makers whose actions potentially affect all other decision makers renders game theory particularly attractive to apply to various fields of Information technology, especially, to analyze the performance of wireless networks. In this paper, we discuss how various interactions in cognitive radio based wireless networks can be modeled as a game at different levels of protocol stack. This allows the analysis of existing protocols and resource management schemes, as well as the design of equilibrium-inducing mechanisms that provide incentives for individual users to behave in socially-constructive ways. In nutshell, this paper serves two main objectives; first, to model some of the fundamental questions on cognitive radio based wireless networks as interactive games between the nodes and second, to gain our understanding on inter-discipline research issues.
