Game Theoretic Network Coding-aided MAC for Data Dissemination towards Energy Efficiency
arXiv:1202.5954 · doi:10.1109/ICC.2012.6364734
Abstract
In this paper we propose game theoretic Medium Access Control (MAC) strategies for data dissemination scenarios. In particular, we use energy-based utility functions that inherently imply power-awareness, while we consider network coding techniques to eliminate the necessity of exchanging acknowledgement control packets. Simulation results show that our proposed strategies enhance the energy efficiency of the system and reduce the dissemination completion time compared to an optimized standard protocol.
