Analysis of Group Multiuser Detection Based on Coalitional Game

TL;DR

This paper analyzes group multiuser detection in wireless networks using coalitional game theory, focusing on the stability and performance of different coalition structures under various network conditions.

Contribution

It introduces a coalitional game framework to evaluate the stability and performance of multiuser detection strategies in coexisting wireless networks.

Findings

Grand coalition maximizes payoff at low SNR

Coalitional stability aligns with nodes having similar channel gains

Performance varies with SNR, channel gains, and coalition structure

Abstract

The issue of group-blind multiuser detection in MAC channel among wireless nodes in the environment of multiple networks coexisting and sharing spectrum is addressed under the Framework of coalitional game. We investigate the performance and stability of multiple access channel (MAC) with linear decorrelating multiuser detection under varying SNR, channel gains and coalitional structures, in which both single BS and multiple BSs cases were considered. The main results and conclusion are as follows: (1) the grand coalition is payoff maximizing under loose SNR; (2) it is in conformity with group and coalitional rationality forming coalition among nodes that have comparative channel gains.
