Farsighted Users Harness Network Time-Diversity

Overview Fluctuations in network conditions are a common phenomenon. They arise in the current wired Internet due to changes in demand, and in wireless networks due to changing interference patterns. However, current congestion control design typically does not account for this, and in this sense the majority of congestion controllers proposed so far can be deemed as "Myopic". The present work deals with the following question: how should network end-users exploit such temporal fluctuations? This paper introduces a formal framework, in which time diversity is explicitly described by phases in network condition.
