Abstract

In this paper the interaction between the AIMD algorithm of TCP and the random access channel is investigated. In particular, we examine the effects of the MAC and the physical layer of the backward channel on the window size evolution of TCP. The problem of coupling the window size evolution of TCP with a random access channel is addressed using point processes and the theory of martingales.
