This paper considers dynamic (multi-stage) signaling games involving an encoder and a decoder who have subjective models on the cost functions. We consider both Nash (simultaneous-move) and Stackelberg (leader-follower) equilibria of dynamic signaling games under quadratic criteria. For the multi-stage scalar cheap talk, we show that the final stage equilibrium is always quantized and under further conditions the equilibria for all time stages must be quantized. In contrast, the Stackelberg equilibria are always fully revealing. In the multi-stage signaling game where the transmission of a Gauss-Markov source over a memoryless Gaussian channel is considered, affine policies constitute an invariant subspace under best response maps for Nash equilibria; whereas the Stackelberg equilibria always admit linear policies for scalar sources but such policies may be nonlinear for multi-dimensional sources. We obtain an explicit recursion for optimal linear encoding policies for multi-dimensional sources, and derive conditions under which Stackelberg equilibria are informative.

Stochastic geometry analysis of IEEE 802.15.6 UWB WBAN performance with game theoretical power management Balevi, Eren; Gitlin, Richard D. (2018-05-23) © 2018 IEEE.Inter-network interference in ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless body area networks (WBANs) is analyzed using stochastic geometry with the objective of quantifying the inherent interference tolerance of UWB WBANs in terms of the bit error probability. Such networks are expected to be common in the IoT segment of 5G networks and our methodology may be extended to other network configurations. Our results show that the amount of interference that can be tolerated depends on the node density of a Poisso...
Belief propagation decoding of polar codes under factor graph permutations Peker, Ahmet Gökhan; Yücel, Melek Diker; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Polar codes, introduced by Arıkan, are linear block codes that can achieve the capacity of symmetric binary-input discrete memoryless channels with low encoding and decoding complexity. Polar codes of block length N are constructed by channel polarization method, which consists of channel combining and splitting operations to obtain N polarized subchannels from N copies of binary-input discrete memoryless channels. As N grows, symmetric channel capacities of the polarized subchannels converge to either 0 or...
Quadratic Multi-Dimensional Signaling Games and Affine Equilibria Sarıtaş, Serkan; Gezici, Sinan (2017-02-01) This paper studies the decentralized quadratic cheap talk and signaling game problems when an encoder and a decoder, viewed as two decision makers, have misaligned objective functions. The main contributions of this study are the extension of Crawford and Sobel's cheap talk formulation to multi-dimensional sources and to noisy channel setups. We consider both (simultaneous) Nash equilibria and (sequential) Stackelberg equilibria. We show that for arbitrary scalar sources, in the presence of misalignment, th...
Quantitative measures of observability for stochastic systems Subaşı, Yüksel; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) The observability measure based on the mutual information between the last state and the measurement sequence originally proposed by Mohler and Hwang (1988) is analyzed in detail and improved further for linear time invariant discrete-time Gaussian stochastic systems by extending the definition to the observability measure of a state sequence. By using the new observability measure it is shown that the unobservable states of the deterministic system have no effect on this measure and any observable part wit...
Transformation Electromagnetics Based Analysis of Waveguides With Random Rough or Periodic Grooved Surfaces Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-02-01) A computational model is introduced which employs transformation-based media to increase the computational performance of finite methods (such as finite element or finite difference methods) for analyzing waveguides with grooves or rough surfaces. Random behavior of the roughness is taken into account by utilizing the Monte Carlo technique, which is based on a set of random rough surfaces generated from Gaussian distribution. The main objective of the proposed approach is to create a single mesh, and to ana...
