Abstract :
The model introduced by Schoute [1] is analyzed using a minimum principle for decentralized stochastic control [2]. For certain values of the input message rates 
and number 
of transmitting stations, simple open-loop strategies are shown to be person-by-person optimal. The true optimal control is shown to be open loop for
