Collisions in Wireless Networks
• The problem of multiple access:– Decades of research– Recent new game theoretic studies
• Common assumption:– Transmitting simultaneously causes all transmissions
to fail.

Collisions in Wireless Networks
• The problem of multiple access:– Decades of research– Recent new game theoretic studies
• Common assumption:– Transmitting simultaneously causes all transmissions
to fail.
• In real life, e.g., Wi-Mesh:– Simultaneous transmissions
may very well succeed.

In this Work
• A new game-theoretical model for interferences and collisions in multiple access environments.
• Analytic results for special cases:– Analysis of Nash equilibria– Price of Anarchy (PoA) / Price of Stability (PoS)– The benefits of penalization

Warm-up: A Game of 2 Players
• 2 stations, A and B• B transmits while A transmits:

Warm-up: A Game of 2 Players
• Formally,– Assume 2 (0,1)– Strategy of player i : Ri 2 [0,1]
– Utility of player i : ri = Ri (1 - Rj)
– Social welfare (value): i ri
• Unique Nash Equilibrium:– everybody transmits– value: 2(1 - ) ! 0
Optimum:– at least 1
Transmission attempt probability
Transmission success probability
Expected number ofSuccessful transmissions
What if we have n players?

HIMA: n-player Game
• Player j inflicts an interference of ij on i
• Utility of player i: ri = Ri j i (1 - ij Rj)
• Our focus: Homogeneous Interferences– 8 i,j ij=
• Unique Nash equilibrium– everybody transmits– value: n (1 - )n-1
Optimum:– k=min(n,b1/c) transmit– value: vk=k(1 - )k-1
Theorem:
If 1/(k+1) · · 1/k then
PoA = PoS =k
n (1 - )n-k

Coordinated Nash Equilibrium
• Pay for being disruptive• Penalty pi for being aggressive
• Utility of player i : ri - pi
• Question:– How far can such an approach get us?

Take One: Exogenous Penalties
• Allow penalties to depend on others• By considering
pi = Ri (Ri + 1 - 2/n) j i (1 - Rj)– Unique Nash is the uniform profile Ri=1/n
– Hence, PoA = PoS · e
• Goal:– Make pi independent of other players’ choices
– Put a clear “price tag” on aggressiveness

Take Two: Endogenous Penalties
• Penalties independent of other players• Using penalty function
pi = Ri (Ri + 1 - 2/n) (1 – 1/n)n-1
guarantees– PoS · e (uniform profile Ri=1/n is still Nash)
– Above Nash is unique if < 2/e » 0.736) PoA · e
• This is independent of n!

Future Work
• Analytic results for non-homogeneous interferences– Specific interference matrices– With/without penalties
• Use results to design better MAC protocols
