  • Abstract
    In this paper we give a solution to a contention problem with reference to communication networks. A and B simultaneously try to access a communication channel. They attempt access again at some later time chosen at random. From what probability density function should the time be chosen to minimize conflict? They are not allowed to communicate with one another.
