A Simple Characterization of Strategic Behaviors in Broadcast Channels

Abstract—In this letter, we consider the problem of resource allocation between two competing users sharing a binary symmetric broadcast channel. We model the interaction between autonomous selfish users in the resource allocation and analyze their strategic behavior in manipulating the allocation outcome. We analytically show that users will improve their performance (i.e., gain higher allocated rates) if they have more information about the strategy of the competing user.
