Fairness analysis of throughput and delay in WLAN environments with channel diversities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article investigates fairness in terms of throughput and packet delays among users with diverse channel conditions due to the mobility and fading effects in IEEE 802.11 WLAN (wireless local area networks) environments. From our analytical results, it is shown that 802.11 CSMA/CA can present fairness among hosts with identical link qualities regardless of equal or different data rates applied. Our analytical results further demonstrate that the presence of diverse channel conditions can pose significant unfairness on both throughput and packet delays even with a link adaptation mechanism since the MCSs (modulation and coding schemes) available are limited. The simulation results validate the accuracy of our analytical model.

Analysis of an Adaptive P-Persistent MAC Scheme for WLAN Providing Delay Fairness
The paper proposes and analyzes an adaptive p-persistentbased (APP) medium access control (MAC) scheme for IEEE 802.11 WLAN. The APP MAC scheme intends to support delay fairness for every station in each access, denoting small delay variance. It differentiates permission probabilities of transmission for stations which are incurred with various packet delays. This permission probability is desi...
متن کاملATRAS: adaptive MAC protocol for efficient and fair coexistence between radio over fiber-based and CSMA/CA-based WLANs
In this paper, we propose a medium access control (MAC) protocol to allow a radio over fiber-based wireless local area network (RoF-based WLAN) to coexist with legacy carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA)-based WLANs. In RoF-based WLANs, there are long propagation delays between access points (APs) and stations (STAs). When an RoF-based WLAN uses the conventional CSMA...
متن کاملThroughput Fairness Using Packet Aggregation on 802.11g Networks
Throughput fairness in 802.11 environments have been widely studied for most of the researchers. Application protocols with small packet size get lesser throughput compared to large packet size protocols. In this paper, we propose fairness mechanism with selective packet aggregation based on type of protocol. The fairness mechanism affects packets that only belong to delay insensitive protocols...
متن کاملA cross-layer adaptive algorithm for multimedia QoS fairness in WLAN environments using neural networks
The authors address the problem of providing fair multimedia quality-of-service (QoS) in IEEE 802.11 distributed co-ordination function-based wireless local area networks in the infrastructure mode where mobile hosts experience heterogeneous channel conditions due to mobility and fading effects. It was observed that unequal link qualities can pose significant unfairness of channel sharing, whic...
متن کاملOpportunistic Scheduling in IEEE 802.11n WLAN
In wireless local area network (WLAN) environment with independent user fading, at least one user is likely to undergo very good channel state at any time, and this is called multiuser diversity. For high system performance, a transmission scheduler at the LLC layer is required to exploit this multi-user diversity by opportunistically selecting a feasible user with a good channel, and it is ref...
