Abstract

We examine a queue-based random-access algorithm where ac-tivation and deactivation rates are adapted as functions of queue lengths.We establish its heavy traffic behavior on a complete interference graph,which turns out to be nonstandard in two respects: (1) the scaling dependson some parameter of the algorithm and is not theN/N2scaling usuallyfound in functional central limit theorems; (2) the heavy traffic limit isdeterministic. We discuss how this nonstandard behavior arises from theidleness induced by the distributed nature of the algorithm. In order toprove our main result, we develop a new method for obtaining a fully cou-pled stochastic averaging principle.
