基于频谱合约的协作通信中继选择方法

针对认知无线网络中协作通信中继节点自私性的需求和非对称网络信息的特点,提出一种多用户协作通信合约机制的设计与实现方法。首先,通过将协作通信映射成劳动力市场,研究对称网络信息条件下多用户频谱合约建模方法;在此基础上,针对合约签订前中继节点私有信息隐匿性引起的逆向选择问题,研究非对称网络信息条件下频谱合约建模方法,以激励中继节点真实地反馈其类型信息和保证协作通信的实现。实验结果表明,雇主授权用户(PU)雇用信道状态好、协作成本低的非授权用户(SU),能获得较大的协作通信增益。提出的多用户协作通信合约机制能为无线频谱的高效利用提供新思路。

Contract design for relay selection in cooperative communication

Focusing on the characteristics of selfishness of relay users and asymmetric network information in cognitive radio networks, a multi-user cooperative communication mechanism was proposed. Firstly, by modeling the cooperative communication as a labor market, a modeling method for the multi-user contract-based relay selection framework was investigated under the symmetric network information scenario. Then, to avoid the adverse selection problem due to the hidden-information of Secondary User (SU) before contract assignment, a contract-based relay selection model was proposed to incentivize the contribution of secondary users for ensuring cooperative communication. The experimental results show that, by hiring the secondary users with better channel condition or less relay cost, Primary User (PU) can obtain much more cooperative communication utility. The proposed multi-user contract-based cooperative communication framework can put forward new ideas for efficient utilization of spectrum resource.
