Coordination in state-dependent distributed networks: The two-agent case

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper addresses a coordination problem between two agents (Agents 1 and 2) in the presence of a noisy communication channel which depends on an external system state x0,t. The channel takes as inputs both agents' actions, x1,t and x2,t and produces outputs that are observed strictly causally at Agent 2 but not at Agent 1. The system state is available either causally or non-causally at Agent 1 but unknown at Agent 2. Necessary and sufficient conditions on a joint distribution Q(x0, x1, x2) to be implementable asymptotically (i.e, when the number of taken actions grows large) are provided for both causal and non-causal state information at Agent 1.
