Abstract

Clustering mechanisms are essential in certain multiuser networks for achieving efficient resource utilization. This lecture note presents the theory of coalition formation as a useful tool for distributed clustering problems. We reveal the generality of the theory, and study complexity aspects which must be considered in multiuser networks.
