Wireless Ad-hoc networks are expected to be made up of energy aware entities (nodes) interested in their own perceived performance. We consider a simple random access model for a wireless ad hoc network to address problems of finding an optimal channel access rate and providing incentive for cooperation to forward other nodes traffic. By casting these problems as noncooperative games, we derive conditions for the Nash equilibrium and provide distributed algorithms to learn the Nash equilibrium. Keywords. Game theory, Stochastic approximation algorithm.
