Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the problem of distributed channel selection for interference mitigation in a canonical communication network. The channel is assumed time-varying, and the active user set is considered dynamically variable due to the specific service requirement. This problem is formulated as an exact potential game, and the optimality property of the solution to this problem is first analyzed. Then, we design a low-complexity fully distributed no-regret learning algorithm for channel adaptation in a dynamic environment, where each active player can independently and automatically update its action with no information exchange. The proposed algorithm is proven to converge to a set of correlated equilibria with a probability of 1. Finally, we conduct simulations to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves near-optimal performance for interference mitigation in dynamic environments.Keywords
