Fair and Efficient Rate Allocation for Wireless-Powered Machine-Type Communication Networks

This paper proposes a bargaining game theoretic rate allocation scheme for wireless-powered machine-type communications (MTCs). In the considered body area MTC network (MTCN), a battery-powered user equipment (UE) acting as the MTC gateway (MTCG) is responsible for collecting the information uploade...

By solving the Nash bargaining solution (NBS) of the proposed cooperative game, the minimum rate requirements of the MTCDs are satisfied.
