Communication Noise and Loss

• CFP is tolerant of (low-level) communication noise and loss

  • low-level noise or lossiness increases the degree of conflict incrementally

• Model communication noise as follows:

  • each color-change message is subjected to a random process:
    • with probability d, the message is dropped
    • with probability r, the color is randomized
    • with probability 1-d-r, the message is passed through unaltered
