This game is motivated by data management applications in wireless sensor networks. We construct optimal strategies and characterize optimal bucket sizes for many instances of this game. %G English %Z TC 1 %Z TC 2 %Z WG 2.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01556224/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01556224/file/978-3-642-33475-7_5_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01556224 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01556224 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC1 %~ IFIP-TC2 %~ IFIP-TCS %~ IFIP-WG2-2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-7604
