Abstract

This paper proposes game-theoretic formulations for addressing resource management issues in GSM/GPRS/EGPRS-based and CDMA/HDR-CDMA-based wireless networks. Network-assisted resource management is used, with minimal inter-base signaling costs, to transfer the intelligence and control needed from the terminal to the network. Both non-cooperative and coalitional games are used to address resource management issues such as link adaptation with power control, channel re-allocation, channel re-assignment, and, hard and soft handoffs with power control.
