Fair Access Provisioning through Contention Parameter Adaptation in the IEEE 802.11e Infrastructure Basic Service Set
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the station-based unfair access problem among the uplink and the downlink stations in the IEEE 802.11e infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) when the default settings of the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters are used. We discuss how the transport layer protocol characteristics alleviate the unfairness problem. We design a simple, practical, and standard-compliant framework to be employed at the Access Point (AP) for fair and efficient access provisioning. A dynamic measurement-based EDCA parameter adaptation block lies in the core of this framework. The proposed framework is unique in the sense that it considers the characteristic differences of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) flows and the coexistence of stations with varying bandwidth or Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. Via simulations, we show that our solution provides shortand long-term fair access for all stations in the uplink and downlink employing TCP and UDP flows with non-uniform packet rates in a wired-wireless heterogeneous network. In the meantime, the QoS requirements of coexisting real-time flows are also maintained.

Fairness Provision in the IEEE 802.11e Infrastructure Basic Service Set
Most of the deployed IEEE 802.11e Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) use infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) in which an Access Point (AP) serves as a gateway between wired and wireless domains. We present the unfairness problem between the uplink and the downlink flows of any Access Category (AC) in the 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) when the default settings of the ED...

متن کاملIEEE 802.11e - fair resource sharing between overlapping basic service sets
The upcoming IEEE 802.11e is an extension of the 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standard. We use this new standard with its priority provisioning mechanism to address fairness issues that occur when geographically co-located WLANs share the radio channel in the so-called Overlapping Basic Service Set environment. By allowing a new mechanism that is part of the 802.11e, called EDCF-TX...
