Abstract

In this paper, we study joint relay selection and the power control optimization problem in an anti-jamming relay communication system. Considering the hierarchical competitive relationship between a user and jammer, we formulate the anti-jamming problem as a Stackelberg game. From the perspective of game, the user selects relay and power strategy firstly which acts as the leader, while the jammer chooses power strategy then that acts as follower. Moreover, we prove the existence of Stackelberg equilibrium. Based on the Q-learning algorithm and multi-armed bandit method, a hierarchical joint optimization algorithm is proposed. Simulation results show the user’s strategy selection probability and the jammer’s regret. We compare the user’s and jammer’s utility under the proposed algorithm with a random selection algorithm to verify the algorithm’s superiority. Moreover, the influence of feedback error and eavesdropping error on utility is analyzed.
