A Coalition Formation Game-Based Multi-User Grouping Approach in the Jamming Environment

Due to the broadcast nature of wireless communication, it is vulnerable to malicious jamming attacks. Meanwhile, multiple users need to share the limited spectrum resources to enhance the spectrum utilization efficiency because of the scarcity of wireless spectrum resources. Therefore, wireless comm...

description Due to the broadcast nature of wireless communication, it is vulnerable to malicious jamming attacks. Meanwhile, multiple users need to share the limited spectrum resources to enhance the spectrum utilization efficiency because of the scarcity of wireless spectrum resources. Therefore, wireless communication systems need to deal with the malicious jamming attacks and mutual interference among different users. In this paper, a multi-user anti-jamming grouping approach based on a coalition formation game is studied. The proposed approach can maximize users’ transmission rate while avoiding channel jamming through optimization of the coalition formation strategy under the influence of malicious jamming. With the help of the exact potential energy game, we demonstrate that the proposed game model can obtain stable Nash equilibrium solutions. Lastly, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through numerical.
