Anti-jamming transmission in UAV communication networks: A Stackelberg game approach

We investigate the anti-jamming problem in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) communication networks, in which the mutual interference among UAVs is considered. A Stackelberg game approach is proposed to solve this problem. The smart jammer who has the privilege over multiple users acts first as the leader of the game, while the users act as the followers after knowing the strategy of the smart jammer. The optimal transmission power of users and smart jammer are derived, and the influence of transmission cost on the users and the smart jammer are shown in the simulation results. The existence as well as the uniqueness of the Stackelberg equlibrium (SE) have been proved as well.
