Optimization and Game Theory for Communications

Course content

The student can identify, model, classify  optimization problems which occur in communications systems. They know different algorithms to solve optimization classes and are able to apply them to current and future communication problems. The students know the basic mathematical tools for game theory and are able to apply them in cooperative and non-cooperative systems in the area of communication systems. 

• Linear programming and resource allocation,
• convex optimization and power control,
• global optimization and interference networks,
• non-cooperative games and distributed resource allocation,
• cooperative games and transmit strategies in interference networks,
• games in characteristic form and ad-hoc networks
