The formation of coalitions in a Gaussian inter- ference channel where the receivers are allowed to cooperate is studied under the framework of coalitional game theory. Allowing any arbitrary sharing of the total rate achieved by a coalition between its member links, it is shown that the grand coalition (coalition of all links) maximizes spectrum utilization an d is also stable, that is, the links in this coalition have no incentives to leave and form other coalitions. The issue of fairness in allocating rates to members of a grand coalition is addressed via a Nash bargaining solution where each link utility is modeled as the rate gained by being in a coalition relative to the rate achieved in the interference channel. Further, a rate allocation sol ution using proportional fairness is also presented and the results are illustrated with examples. |
