DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ONLINE COMPUTATION OF THE FEASIBLE RATES REGION OF A RANDOM ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

A method is intended for computing online a feasible rates region in a network (WN) using a random access MAC protocol and comprising nodes (NE1-NE5) having links therebetween. This method comprises the steps of i) determining, for each link, a primary extreme point corresponding to a maximum output rate when this link transmits alone at a maximum input rate, and ii) determining secondary extreme points by combining these primary extreme points with a chosen interference model, these primary and secondary extreme points defining a boundary of a feasible rates region.
