Guest Editorial Non-Cooperative Behavior in Networking

The 17 papers in this special issue focus on non-cooperative behavior in networking. They deal with non-cooperative behaviors arising from a wide variety of networks: cellular, wireless LAN, ad hoc networks and wireline networks. From a protocol layering perspective, they address game-theoretic issues in (1) modulation, power control, and subchannel assignment in the physical later, (2) contention window in the MAC layer, (3) multihoming and routing in the network layer, and (4) resource allocation.
