A Game Theoretic Approach to Problems in Telecommunication
用博弈论模型分析两个电信实际问题：地面飞行电话系统与国际电话改路由，发现一类特殊联盟博弈及其理论性质，并讨论对实际问题的启示。
This paper considers two specific problems in telecommunication, namely the Terrestrial Flight Telephone System and the rerouting of international telephone calls. Both situations are modelled as coalitional games, and game theoretic techniques are used to tackle the problems. It is shown that a special class of coalitional games emerges from the situations under consideration and that the structure of the situations has theoretical implications, including the coincidence of several game theoretic solution concepts. The implications of these theoretical results for the two practical problems are discussed.
