Séminaire RAP

On the stability of flow-aware CSMA

Séminaires organisés par l'équipe-projet RAP, entrée libre.

Jeudi 4 novembre à 10h.

  • Date : 4/11/2010
  • Lieu : Rocquencourt, bâtiment 9
  • Intervenants : Mathieu Feuillet (Inria Paris-Rocquencourt, Équipe-Projet RAP)

We consider a wireless network where each flow (instead of each link) runs its own CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) algorithm.
Specifically, each flow attempts to access the radio channel after some random time and transmits a packet if the channel is sensed idle.
We prove that, unlike the standard CSMA algorithm, this simple distributed access scheme is optimal in the sense that the network is
stable for all traffic intensities in the capacity region of the network.
Joint work with Thomas Bonald (Telecom ParisTech).
