Abstract. We consider jamming in wireless networks with transmission cost for both transmitter and jammer. We use the framework of non-zerosum games. In particular, we prove the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium. It turns out that it is possible to provide analytical expressions for the equilibrium strategies. These expressions is a generalization of the standard water-filling. In fact, since we take into account the cost of transmission, we obtain even a generalization of the water-filling in the case of one player game. The present framework allows us to study both water-filling in time and water-filling in frequency. By means of numerical examples we study an important particular case of jamming of the OFDM system when the jammer is situated close to the base station.
We study power control in optimization and game frameworks. In the optimization framework there is a single decision maker who assigns network resources and in the game framework players share the network resources according to Nash equilibrium. The solution of these problems is based on so-called water-filling technique, which in turn uses bisection method for solution of non-linear equations for Lagrange multiplies. Here we provide a closed form solution to the water-filling problem, which allows us to solve it in a finite number of operations. Also, we produce a closed form solution for the Nash equilibrium in symmetric Gaussian interference game. In addition, to its mathematical beauty, the explicit solution allows one to study limiting cases when the crosstalk coefficient is either small or large. We provide an alternative simple proof of the convergence of the Iterative Water Filling Algorithm. Furthermore, it turns out that the convergence of Iterative Water Filling Algorithm slows down when the crosstalk coefficient is large. Using the closed form solution, we can avoid this problem. Finally, we compare the non-cooperative approach with the cooperative approach and show that the non-cooperative approach results in a more fair resource distribution.
