Towards an Optimal Contention Resolution Scheme for Matchings [PDF]
In this paper, we study contention resolution schemes for matchings. Given a fractional matching $x$ and a random set $R(x)$ where each edge $e$ appears independently with probability $x_e$, we want to select a matching $M \subseteq R(x)$ such that $\Pr[e \in M \mid e \in R(x)] \geq c$, for $c$ as large as possible. We call such a selection method a $c$

Is Our Model for Contention Resolution Wrong? [PDF]
Randomized binary exponential backoff (BEB) is a popular algorithm for coordinating access to a shared channel. With an operational history exceeding four decades, BEB is currently an important component of several wireless standards.

Robust and Optimal Contention Resolution without Collision Detection [PDF]
We consider the classical contention resolution problem where nodes arrive over time, each with a message to send. In each synchronous slot, each node can send or remain idle. If in a slot one node sends alone, it succeeds; otherwise, if multiple nodes send simultaneously, messages collide and none succeeds.

On the Stability of Contention Resolution Diversity Slotted ALOHA (CRDSA) [PDF]
In this paper a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based Random Access (RA) channel with Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) is considered for a finite user population and reliable retransmission mechanism on the basis of Contention Resolution ...

Matroid Secretary Is Equivalent to Contention Resolution [PDF]
We show that the matroid secretary problem is equivalent to correlated contention resolution in the online random-order model. Specifically, the matroid secretary conjecture is true if and only if every matroid admits an online random-order contention ...

Joint Estimation and Contention-Resolution Protocol for Wireless Random Access [PDF]
We propose a contention-based random-access protocol, designed for wireless networks where the number of users is not a priori known. The protocol operates in rounds divided into equal-duration slots, performing at the same time estimation of the number of users and resolution of their transmissions.

The Outer Limits of Contention Resolution on Matroids and Connections to the Secretary Problem [PDF]
Contention resolution schemes have proven to be a useful and unifying abstraction for a variety of constrained optimization problems, in both offline and online arrival models. Much of prior work restricts attention to product distributions for the input

Submodular Optimization with Contention Resolution Extensions [PDF]
This paper considers optimizing a submodular function subject to a set of downward closed constraints. Previous literature on this problem has often constructed solutions by (1) discovering a fractional solution to the multi-linear extension and (2 ...
