Optimization and Game Theory in Communications

Contents:

The course will allow students to identify, classify and formulate common optimization problems in communications.The students learn a variety of algorithms to rigorously solve those optimization problems. 

Furthermore, basic mathematical tools from game theory will be presented and applied in cooperative and non-cooperative communication systems.

Specifically, the following topics will be covered. 

  • Linear programming and resource allocation
  • Convex optimization and power control
  • Global optimizations and interference networks
  • Non-cooperative games and distributed resource allocation
  • Cooperative Games and transmit strategies in interference networks
  • Coalition games and ad-hoc networks
