Abstract— TCP/IP can be interpreted as a distributed primaldual algorithm to maximize aggregate utility over source rates. It has recently been shown that an equilibrium of TCP/I...
— This paper reverse-engineers backoff-based random-access MAC protocols in ad-hoc networks. We show that the contention resolution algorithm in such protocols is implicitly part...
