....are the users. The stability of an externality game for a (mobile) distributed network is discussed in section 3. A distributed solution is defined in terms of game theory, see e.g. 12] Previously game theory has been applied on the study of resource allocation in a communication system in e.g. [9, 7, 5] Definition 2.1. For a game with m players, the normal form representation Gamma = m; fS i g; fr i g] specifies for each player i a set of strategies S i (with y i 2 S i ) and a payoff function r i (y 1 ; y m ) giving the utility levels associated with the outcome arising from the ....

....Pricing thus encourages energy efficiency which is a Pareto improvement only if there are real resource costs related to transmit power energy. Here however, the resource costs are not accounted for; instead, the price mechanism here works to rule out excessive congestion like in [8] and unlike in [5]: the price prevents the user from increasing the demand indefinitely to steal capacity (SNR) from other users (thus enforcing incentive compatibility [12] 4 Conclusion A fundamental problem in distributed network optimization is to deal with various externality costs, by definition not ....
