A coalition as a group of agents aims to work jointly to earn much more gains as a result of
their cooperation. Many existing studies assumed that members take advantage of joining …

In this paper, we study the problem of cooperative interference management in an OFDMA
two-tier small cell network. In particular, we propose a novel approach for allowing the small …

The objective of coalition formation is to partition the agent set that gives the highest utility to
the system. Over the past three decades, the process of coalition formation has been applied …

This paper explores a PAC (probably approximately correct) learning model in cooperative
games. Specifically, we are given $ m $ random samples of coalitions and their values …

With the rapid growth of sensor technology, smartphone sensing has become an effective
approach to improve the quality of smartphone applications. However, due to time-varying …

Due to spectrum sharing, device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular
networks enhance system capacity significantly that benefits services of local area. On the …

Mobile Network Operators perceive Spectrum Slicing and Sharing as an efficient and viable
option to meet the growing mobile user data demands in the upcoming 5G network …

Modern cellular networks are witnessing an unprecedented evolution from classical
centralized and homogenous architectures into a mix of various technologies, in which the …

Overlapping Coalition Formation (OCF) games, introduced by Chalkiadakis, Elkind,
Markakis, Polukarov and Jennings in 2010, are cooperative games where players can …

We introduce the idea of a finite sequence of coalition formation games over a set of agents,
and we call it Sequential Characteristic-Function Game (SCFG). We define the solution of …
