Potential game based transmission method for wireless multi-hop networks

To further increase the throughput of wireless multi-hop networks,this paper proposed a scheduling method based on potential game with physical interference model.It considered that the link rate could change in terms of SINR dynamically.By designing the potential function properly,the existence and convergence of the Nash equilibrium could be guaranteed.Meanwhile,the global function could be optimized while each player tried to minimize its payoff.Simulation results show that the method has good performance.
