Game-Theoretic Resource Allocation Algorithms for Device-to-Device Communications in Fifth Generation Cellular Networks: A Review

Abstract

Game-theoretic resource allocation algorithms are essential to managing the interference that Device-to-Device (D2D) and cellular transmissions could generate to each other in cellular networks since game-theoretic solutions are naturally autonomous and robust. In this paper, we present a survey on D2D communication in cellular networks with respect to the performance of the existing and accessible game-theoretic resource allocation algorithms published in 2013-2019. Each of the game-theoretic resource allocation algorithms with its properties such as utility, complexity, fairness, overhead cost, and convergence rate are reviewed and compared. The survey proved that gametheoretic solutions could be a viable strategy for practical implementation in 5G networks as each of the reviewed scheme attempts to optimize one or various essential performance metrics in the system. Finally, the paper recommends that serious efforts should be made by standardization bodies in incorporating game-theoretic strategy in D2D-enabled 5G networks while considering it as a road map for reliable and resource-efficient solutions in future cellular networks.

Overview and Comparison of Candidate 5G Waveforms: FBMC, UFMC and F-OFDM

“…In 2019, Demir et al [5] explored major requirements, such as high energy efficiency, low latency, asynchronous transmission, and spectrum efficiency, that waveforms must fulfill to identify and demonstrate the basic indicators of 5G performance, namely enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). In addition, the study presented potential waveforms compatible with 5G and analyzed their weaknesses and strengths.…”

Application of Internet of Things Technology Based on Artificial Intelligence in Electronic Information Engineering

“…e characteristics of the electronic information industry: (1) parallel growth and benefits: along with the increase in output, there will be a corresponding increase in efficiency; (2) large demand for technology and investment: because electronic information products are updated quickly and have high requirements for equipment and technology, a large amount of capital and technical investment are required to keep up with the speed of product upgrades; (3) clustering and relevance to other industries: the output of the electronic information industry is an indispensable input for related industries [13]. Our country's modern electronic information industry has increasingly become the leading and pillar industry in the mainland of our motherland, promoting our country's social and economic development.…”

“…e adoption of random representation and statistical learning methods has led to a higher degree of integration and intersection between artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, cybernetics, neuroscience, and other disciplines. However, the current technology is not mature enough and there are some shortcomings [3].…”

Distributed and Dynamic Channel Assignment Schemes for Wireless Mesh Network

“…Here, we present a game theory-based scheme to address the CA problem for the WMN backbone. Game theory is a statistical technique that is fundamentally useful in evaluating the interactions between multiple decision-makers with conflicting interests [2]. We model the CA problem as a cooperative game and prove that the proposed game is a potential game that achieves a steady state.…”
