预计5G密集SCN将在未来几年内满足千倍移动的流量挑战。当开发用于这种网络中的资源分配问题的解决方案时，由于这种网络中的大量用户和网络节点引起的过度计算复杂性和大的信令开销，传统的集中式控制可能不再可行。相反，具有低复杂度的分布式资源分配（或决策）方法将是期望的，以使网络自组织和自治。少数者博弈（MG）作为一种建模和解决分布式资源分配问题的工具，最近得到了研究界的关注。本文的主要目的是研究MG解决未来无线网络中分布式决策问题的适用性。我们提出了基本MG的基本理论方面，MG的一些变体，以及平衡的概念。我们还研究了移动网关在通信网络中的应用现状。此外，我们描述了一个示例应用MG到SCN，在SCN中的用户的计算卸载的问题建模和分析使用MG。
5G dense SCNs are expected to meet the thousand-fold mobile traffic challenge within the next few years. When developing solution schemes for resource allocation problems in such networks, conventional centralized control may no longer be viable due to excessive computational complexity and large signaling overhead caused by the large number of users and network nodes in such a network. Instead, distributed resource allocation (or decision making) methods with low complexity would be desirable to make the network self-organizing and autonomous. Minority game (MG) has recently gained the attention of the research community as a tool to model and solve distributed resource allocation problems. The main objective of this article is to study the applicability of MG to solve the distributed decision making problems in future wireless networks. We present the fundamental theoretical aspects of basic MG, some variants of MG, and the notion of equilibrium. We also study the current state of the art on the applications of MGs in communication networks. Furthermore, we describe an example application of MG to SCNs, where the problem of computation off loading by users in an SCN is modeled and analyzed using MG.
