This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of resource allocation in backscatter-assisted communication networks. As backscatter communications continue to evolve, integrating them into traditional communication networks holds immense potential to enhance network performance significantly. However, achieving optimal resource allocation in backscatter-assisted communication networks is a complex task that requires careful consideration.

It is worth noting that the resource allocation in backscatter-assisted communication networks presents unique challenges compared to traditional communication networks. This complexity necessitates a nuanced tradeoff between the performance of backscatter communications and traditional communications.

To address these challenges, this book employs game theory, a powerful tool for developing and analyzing distributed, flexible, and autonomous networks. By leveraging game theory, we develop auction-based time scheduling schemes, contract-based time assignment schemes, and evolutionary game-based access point and service selection schemes for backscatter-assisted radio-frequency-powered cognitive networks. These schemes take into account important properties such as individual rationality, ensuring that the network operates efficiently and effectively.

Furthermore, we employ optimization approaches to enhance the throughput of backscatter-assisted hybrid relay networks. By carefully selecting relay modes and optimizing resource sharing, we aim to improve the overall performance of these networks.

We firmly believe that the resource allocation schemes developed in this book will provide valuable guidance for the design of backscatter-assisted communication networks and future Internet of Things. This book is particularly valuable for graduate students, researchers, and engineers in the field of communication networks, as it offers a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the latest developments in resource allocation strategies.

In conclusion, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in advancing the field of backscatter-assisted communication networks. By leveraging game theory and optimization approaches, it provides insightful solutions to complex resource allocation challenges, paving the way for improved network performance and the realization of the Internet of Things.
