In a cooperative content distribution (CCD) using multiple interfaces, a smart wireless device receives content from a base station (BS) on its cellular interface, and it broadcasts the same content through another wireless interface, such as WiFi. However, different users can experience different link qualities, and users with slow wireless links can be a bottleneck in terms of CCD performance. To address this problem, we propose a device selection method which leverages multiple interfaces of the selected devices to perform CCD. Our proposed method takes into account the link quality of both primary (cellular) and secondary (WiFi/short-range) interfaces of the devices, and selects the devices with the best link quality for CCD. To analyze the stability of the proposed CCD method against selfish deviators, we model the problem as a repeated CCD game. We show that although the proposed method yields significant gains in terms of energy and frequency carrier savings, it is vulnerable to selfish deviating users. To address this challenge, we propose a carrier aggregation based incentive mechanism. The analytical and simulation results show that the proposed mechanism maximizes individual and network payoffs, and is an equilibrium against unilateral selfish deviations.Index Terms-Cooperative content delivery, multiple wireless interfaces, efficient off-loading, incentive mechanism, carrier aggregation and game theory.

Radio resource management is important for wireless communication networks. Game theory has been extensively used to model, analyze, and design interactive behaviors and the strategic decision‐making for radio resource management. It is known that utility function is one of the critical elements in a game, which characterizes the preferred relationship of the rational players and is a function of the action of players and their opponents. We first overview the basics of game theory and utility functions. We then present a taxonomy of utility functions with respect to different types of players, the nature of actions, and preferences in terms of the fairness, quality of service, and quality of experience. We provide some insights based on the taxonomy of utility functions, which provides the readers with a comprehensive view. Following that, we also discuss other types of traffic‐aware utility functions with different fairness and the potential and super modular game‐theoretic utility functions. In addition, we summarize the desired properties and observations for the design of suitable utility functions. Finally, we investigate impacts of the pricing in utility functions. This article ends with the conclusions and a promising view on open problems and challenges with possible future research directions.

Abstract-The ever increasing demand of wireless communication systems has led to search of suitable spectrum bands for transmission of data. The research in the past has revealed that radio spectrum is under-utilized in most of the scenarios. This prompted the scientist to seek a solution to utilize the spectrum efficiently. Cognitive Radios provided an answer to the problem by sensing the idle (licensed) bands and allowing (secondary) users to transmit in these idle spaces. Spectrum sensing forms the main block of cognition cycle.This paper reviews the current trends in research in the domain of spectrum sensing. The author describes the type of channel being modelled, diversity combining schemes used, optimal algorithms applied at fusion centre, spectrum sensing techniques employed. Further, the research challenges are discussed. It is presented that various attributes like sensing time, throughput, rate reliability, optimum cooperative users, sensing frequency etc. needs to be addressed. A trade-off needs to be established to optimize two opposing parameters like sensing and throughput.
