Minimum Performance Guarantee (cont…)
For 
 , the degree of  
  is bounded by    (the maximum poly. degree)   
Therefore, the number of collisions between two nodes using unique and
different polynomials is bounded as well.
For more than two nodes, it is necessary to control or know a-priori the
maximum degree of the network (network is viewed as a graph G(V,E)):
Text Box: …

In order to guarantee unique

In order to guarantee a bounded
number of collisions (guarantee):
(N = number of nodes in the network
          = max. degree of the network)
