Abstract
For the next generation wireless networks, machine type communication (MTC) is gaining an enormous interest as a new communication paradigm. MTC is expected to become a cost-effective solution for improving the wireless communication performance. In MTC, one of the most critical issues is to support data transfers among devices without human interaction. In this study, we introduce a new MTC control scheme for the future network infrastructure. To effectively support a large number of MTC devices, we investigate a dual-level interaction mechanism by employing the timed strategy game model. In dynamic wireless network environments, our timed strategic game approach can practically adapt current system conditions while maximizing system performance. Main contribution of this research is to show a way of MTC system modeling based on the competitive and cooperative manner. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate the validity of our game-based approach. Our solution enables a better network resource utilization for heterogeneous traffic services in contrast to existing schemes.
