Cooperation and Cognition in Wireless Networks
Overview The fundamental limits of communication over a wireless network of nodes have recently become an area of intense research. Even in the simplest case, the information theoretic capacity region of multi-terminal networks remains an open problem. The analysis of networks is made even richer through the recent introduction of cognitive radios, which could allow for cooperation between network nodes. This paper presents a decomposition of arbitrary wireless networks with cognitive and non-cognitive nodes, which reduces the network to a set of clusters which behave in competitive, cognitive and cooperative fashions. This paper survey results on the more classical competitive and cooperative behaviors, and explore two examples of the recently introduced cognitive behavior in more depth.
