Evolutionary Game Theory has been originally developed and formalized by [247], in order to model the evolution of animal species and it has soon become an important mathematical tool to predict and even design evolution in many fields, others than biology. It mainly focuses on the dynamical evolution of the strategies adopted in a population...

We propose a model for network optimization in a non-cooperative game setting with specific reference to the Internet connectivity. The model describes the decisions taken by an Autonomous System (AS) when joining the Internet. We first define a realistic model for the interconnection costs incurred; then we use this cost model to perform a...

This chapter presents a new formulation which not only covers the fully non-cooperative behavior and the fully cooperative behavior, but also the fully altruistic behaviour. To do so, we make use of the evolutionary game theory which we extend to cover this kind of behavior. The major focus of this work is to study how the level of cooperation...

In this work we want to extend the EGT models by introducing the concept of individual state. We analyze a particular simple case, in which we associate a state to each player, and we suppose that this state determines the set of available actions. We consider deterministic stationary policies and we suppose that the choice of a policy...

Self-Organizing Network (SON) technology aims at autonomously deploying, optimizing and repairing the Radio Access Networks (RAN). SON algorithms typically use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from the RAN. It is shown that in certain cases, it is essential to take into account the impact of the backhaul state in the design of the SON...

Future communication networks are expected to feature autonomic (or self-organizing) mechanisms to ease de- ployment, tune parameters automatically and repair the network. Self-organizing mechanisms are designed as stand-alone entities, even though multiple mechanisms run in parallel in operational networks. An efficient coordination mechanism...

In dense wireless networks, inter-cell interference highly limits the capacity and quality of service perceived by users. Previous work has shown that approaches based on frequency reuse provide important capacity gains. We model a wireless network with Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) at the flow level where users arrive and depart...
