Symbols and notations

Description

R(k,w)

Total secure data rate provided by Relay k at state w

s i

Signal to User i

r i

Relay selected by User i

N k

Number of users choosing Relay k at the end of the game

M i

Grouping results of relays before User i

M i,k

Number of users before User i choosing Relay k

n i,k
