Abstract

We discuss strategic contention resolution and a 3-player age-based protocol that can prevent users from unilaterally deviating to a persistent protocol (which then always chooses to “pass” from some point on).

Joint work with: George Christodoulou, Martin Gairing, Sotiris Nikoletseas, and Christoforos Raptopoulos
