Abstract
We consider a decentralised multi-access algorithm, motivated primarily by the control of transmissions in a wireless network. For a finite single-hop network with arbitrary interference constraints, we prove stochastic stability under the natural conditions. For infinite and finite single-hop networks, we obtain broad rate-stability conditions. We also consider symmetric finite multi-hop networks and show that the natural condition is sufficient for stochastic stability.
