Query: Multi-user lax communications: a multi-armed bandit approach   Inspired by cognitive radio networks, we consider a setting where multiple
users share several channels modeled as a multi-user multi-armed bandit (MAB)
problem. The characteristics of each channel are unknown and are different for
each user. Each user can choose between the channels, but her success depends
on the particular channel chosen as well as on the selections of other users:
if two users select the same channel their messages collide and none of them
manages to send any data. Our setting is fully distributed, so there is no
central control. As in many communication systems, the users cannot set up a
direct communication protocol, so information exchange must be limited to a
minimum. We develop an algorithm for learning a stable configuration for the
multi-user MAB problem. We further offer both convergence guarantees and
experiments inspired by real communication networks, including comparison to
state-of-the-art algorithms.
