Charge sensitive and incentive compatible end-to-end window-based control for selfish users
Youngmi Jin, George Kesidis · IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications · 2006
This paper considers the problem of finding a tamper-resistant and charge-sensitive end-to-end window flow-control mechanism for greedy users. Using a mathematical model of resource distribution, we propose a distributed window flow-control mechanism leading to a flow-rate vector which achieves maximum total utility. Desirable features of the proposed window control algorithm and properties of the equilibrium points are explored. We also prove the convergence of the proposed window control algorithm.
