A central question in routing games has been to establish conditions for the uniqueness of the equilibrium, either in terms of network topology or in terms of costs. This question is well understood in two classes of routing games. The first is the non-atomic routing introduced by Wardrop on 1952 in the context of road traffic in which each...

We consider the problem of how a geostationary satellite should assign bandwidth to several service providers (operators) so as to meet some minimum requirements, on one hand, and to perform the allocation in a fair way, on the other hand. In the paper, we firstly address practical issues (such as integrity constraints), whereafter we provide a...

For over a decade, the Nash bargaining solution (NBS) concept from cooperative game theory has been used in networks as a concept that allows one to share resources fairly. Due to its many appealing properties, it has recently been used for assigning bandwidth in a general topology network between applications that have linear utilities. In...

The global Internet has enabled a massive access of internauts to content. At the same time it allowed individuals to use the Internet in order to distribute content. This introduced new types of competition between content over popularity, visibility, influence, reputation and user attention. The rules of these competitions are new with...

We consider in this paper competition of content creators in routing their content through various media. The routing decisions may correspond to the selection of a social network (e.g. twitter versus facebook or linkedin) or of a group within a given social network. The utility for a player to send its content to some medium is given as the...

Games with Common Coupled Constraints represent manyreal life situations. In these games, if one player fails tosatisfy its constraints common to other players, then theother players are also penalised. Therefore these games canbe viewed as being cooperative in goals related to meetingthe common constraints, and non ...

This paper presents an algorithm for resource allocation in satellite networks. It deals with planning a time/frequency plan for a set of terminals with a known geometric configuration under interference constraints. Our objective is to maximize the system throughput while guaranteeing that the different types of demands are satisfied, each...

Ce rapport présente un algorithme d'allocation de ressources pour les réseaux satellitaires. Il s'agit de prévoir un plan d'allocation en temps/fréquence pour un ensemble de terminaux ayant une configuration géométrique définie et soumis à des contraintes d'interférence. On cherche à minimiser la taille du plan de fréquences tout en...

Slicing is emerging as a promising technique to support new differentiated services in 5G networks. It provides the necessary flexility and scalability associated with future services. To maintain satisfactory services requirements and high profit for service providers, a slice may be designing according to the varying demands and resource...

The method involves calculating a new value of a stream for a part of mobile terminals (T) of a cell, for each new mobile terminal entering in one of cells (C1- C3). The calculated stream is allocated to the terminals based on preset stream allocation strategies. The entering terminal is rejected, if the stream requested by the terminal is less...

We model the competition over several blockchains characterizing multiple cryptocurrencies as a non-cooperative game. Then, we specialize our results to two instances of the general game, showing properties of the Nash equilibrium. In particular, leveraging results about congestion games, we establish the existence of pure Nash equilibria and...

We model the competition over mining resources and over several cryptocurrencies as a non-cooperative game. Leveraging results about congestion games, we establish conditions for the existence of pure Nash equilibria and provide efficient algorithms for finding such equilibria.We account for multiple system models, varying according to the way...
