Spectrum Compensation-Based Joint Communication and Jamming Channel Allocation: A Hierarchical Stochastic Potential Game Approach

No doubt both communication and jamming are indispensable in wireless confrontation. For the jamming side, a major challenge is how to coordinate the jamming and the internal communication behaviors. This paper investigates a joint channel strategy optimization problem in an integrated communication and jamming system. A spectrum compensation mechanism is proposed to coordinate the channel strategies between the users and the jammer within a Stackelberg game framework. Considering the dynamics of strategy space, we formulate the followers sub-game as a stochastic potential game. Moreover, we prove the existence of Stackelberg equilibrium and propose an algorithm to search for the equilibrium solution. Simulation results show that the proposed method can increase the jammer's and the users' utilities significantly compared with the uncoordinated situations.
