Interference Games in Wireless Networks.

We present a game-theoretic approach to the study of scheduling communications in wireless networks and introduce and study a class of games that we call Interference Games. In our setting, a player can successfully transmit if it “shouts strongly enough”; that is, if her transmission power is sufficiently higher than all other (simultaneous) transmissions plus the environmental noise. This physical phenomenon is commonly known as the Signal-to-Interferenceplus-Noise-Ratio (SINR).
