Equilibrium in erasure coding for ALOHA MAC protocols

摘要

In this paper we use game theory to analyze Slotted ALOHA when integrating erasure coding, from the perspective of a selfish user. We construct a ALOHA game model and examine the optimal behavior of individual users. We confirm the existence of Nash equilibrium, and then we compare our results with those found in conventional model. By the use of game theory assumption, we have been able to improve the performances of ALOHA protocols.
