Coordination Without Collaboration in Imperfect Games: The Primary User Emulation Attack Example

In cognitive radio networks, an adversary transmits signals with characteristics that emulate those of primary users to prevent secondary users from transmitting. Such an attack is called a primary user emulation (PUE) attack. In this paper, a game theoretical framework is proposed to study the prim...
