Preface

Game theory is the formal studies of decision-making among multiple autonomous players who have common or conflicting interests and whose interactions influence the outcomes obtained by each participant. It has found its applications in the areas of telecommunication engineering since the early 1990s, for solving problems such as flow control and routing. In recent years, game-theoretical approach to radio resource allocation is one of the most extensively investigated research topics in wireless communications. A significant number of scientific papers and books, as well as special journal issues (e.g., the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications and the IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing) have been dedicated to this topic. In some interactive scenarios involving selfish decentralized individuals, game theory helps us formulate analytical models so that we can
