Energy Efficiency Strategy in D2D Cognitive Networks Using Channel Selection Based on Game Theory and Collaboration

The growth of Device-to-Device (D2D) communications and the extensive use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) bring new problems such as spectral coexistence and spectrum saturation. Cognitive Radio (CR) appears as a paradigm to solve these problems. The introduction of CR into WSNs as a solution to...

description The growth of Device-to-Device (D2D) communications and the extensive use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) bring new problems such as spectral coexistence and spectrum saturation. Cognitive Radio (CR) appears as a paradigm to solve these problems. The introduction of CR into WSNs as a solution to the spectrum utilization problem could be used not only to increase the reliability of communications, but also to optimize energy consumption. The contribution of this paper is a cognitive lightweight strategy based on game theory and collaboration proposed to save energy consumption in Cognitive Wireless Sensor Networks (CWSNs). The proposed strategy takes advantage of the two main capabilities of CWSNs, the ability to adapt communication parameters, specifically channel allocation, and collaboration among devices. The decision making is modeled through a light noncooperative game designed for low resources networks. Despite the fact that the game used is a noncooperative game, the decision process takes advantage of the collaboration among CWSN nodes in a distributed way. Simulations over Castalia Simulator have been carried out in order to validate the strategy in different scenarios with different interference schemes showing increases in energy savings around 50% depending on the scenario.
