NetSE:Small: Human Behavior Inspired Cognitive Radio Network Design

支持动态频谱接入的认知无线电被设想为感知环境和自我学习，以最大化个人或群体的效用功能。这导致了欺骗、非理性行为、不平等厌恶、利他主义、从过去的记忆中学习等。这些特征与人类的行为和社会互动惊人地相似。因此，本项目超越了传统的博弈论分析，探索了这种并行性。如果认知无线电网络中的通信协议类似于人类的行为和心理交互，意味着什么？这个网络会像人类进化一样，在随机干扰下发展自己的心理学吗？这些都是这个项目利用社会科学和行为游戏的工具解决的基本问题。一些主要的理论思想将在PIS中开发的认知无线电网络原型SpiderRadio中实现。史蒂文斯实验室。智力价值：这个项目的智力价值是一个跨学科的努力，它重叠了人类行为模型、认知心理学、经济模型、决策理论和动态频谱访问。新兴的社会科学概念，如进化和认知心理学、行为经济学、戏剧理论、个人和社会困境被用来模拟网络中认知无线电节点之间的各种类型的交互。更广泛的影响：该项目的成果将对无线网络研究和频谱政策制定社区产生更广泛的影响。这个项目也为工程学和心理学专业的学生提供了一个独特的合作机会。最后，这里提出的一些想法将影响认知无线电网络的下一代标准。

Cognitive radios enabling dynamic spectrum access are envisioned to sense the environment and self-learn to maximize an individual or group utility function. This results in cheating, irrational behavior, inequality aversion, altruism, learning from past memory, etc. These traits are strikingly similar to human behavior and social interactions. Therefore, this project explores this parallelism going beyond traditional game theoretic analysis. What are the implications if communication protocols in a cognitive radio network resemble human behavioral and psychological interactions? Will the network develop its own psychology with random perturbations, similar to human evolution?These are the fundamental questions addressed in this project using tools from social science and behavioral games. Some of the main theoretical ideas will be implemented in SpiderRadio, a cognitive radio network prototype developed in the PIs? laboratory at Stevens. Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of this project is an inter-disciplinary effort thatoverlaps human behavioral models, cognitive psychology, economic models, decision theory and dynamic spectrum access. Emerging social science concepts such as evolutionary and cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, drama theory, personal and social dilemmas are used to model various types of interactions among cognitive radio nodes in a network. Broader Impact: The outcomes of this project will have a broader impact on wireless networking research and spectrum policy making communities. This project also gives a unique opportunity for students in engineering and psychology to collaborate. Finally, some of the ideas presented here will impact the next generation standards in cognitive radio networking.
