Abstract :
We have analyzed the distributed MAC protocols by using game theoretic concepts. Specifically, we have modelled the "access" game as a non-cooperative game with incomplete information. We have proven the existence of optimal strategies for individual users. We have derived approximate formulae for optimal transmission probabilities in two cases: single class of users and two classes of users.
