Game theory (GT) has been used with significant success to formulate, and either design or
optimize, the operation of many representative communications and networking scenarios …

In this survey, we summarize different modeling and solution concepts of networking games,
as well as a number of different applications in telecommunications that make use of or can …

The application of mathematical analysis to the study of wireless ad hoc networks has met
with limited success due to the complexity of mobility and traffic models, the dynamic …

CSMA/CA protocols rely on the random deferment of packet transmissions. Like most other
protocols, CSMA/CA was designed with the assumption that the nodes would play by the …

Traditional network optimization focuses on a single control objective in a network populated
by obedient users and limited dispersion of information. However, most of today's networks …

This paper studies distributed choice of retransmission probabilities in slotted ALOHA. Both
the cooperative team problem as well as the noncooperative game problem are considered …

To overcome the disadvantages of traditional genetic algorithms, which easily fall to local
optima, this paper proposes a hybrid genetic algorithm based on information entropy and …

Motivated partially by a control-theoretic viewpoint, we propose a game-theoretic model,
called random access game, for contention control. We characterize Nash equilibria of …

We consider game theoretic models of wireless medium access control (MAC) in which each
transmitter makes individual decisions regarding their power level or transmission …

Aloha and its slotted variation are commonly deployed medium access control (MAC)
protocols in environments where multiple transmitting devices compete for a medium, yet …
