Approaching throughput-optimality in a distributed CSMA algorithm: collisions and stability

ABSTRACT

It was shown recently that CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)-like distributed algorithms can achieve the maximal throughput in wireless networks (and task processing networks) under certain assumptions [1]. One idealized assumption is that the sensing time is negligible, so that there is no collision. In this paper, we study more practical CSMA-based scheduling algorithms with collisions. First, we provide a model and give an explicit throughput formula, which has a simple product-form due to the quasi-reversibility structure of the model. Second, we show that the algorithm in [1] can be extended to approach throughput optimality in this case. Finally, sufficient conditions are given to ensure the convergence and stability of the proposed algorithm. Such conditions are also provided for the algorithm in [1] to achieve throughput-optimality. (Detailed proofs of all theorems here can be found in [2, 3].)
