A Novel UCAN Power Control Algorithm Based on the Stackelberg Game by Huaping Chen, Zhiyu Wang, Zhongyang He, Guoqiang Li

“…In this paper, A novel UnderWater Cognitive Acoustic Sensor Network(UCANs) power control algorithm based on the Stackelberg game is proposed to solve the problems of low system capacity, high inter-node interference, and poor communication quality due to unreasonable power allocation when Under Water Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) share spectrum resources. Firstly, the primary and secondary users are regarded as the leader and follower in the Stackelberg game model, and the utility functions of the primary and secondary users are derived separately. …”
