Capacity-Fairness Performance of an Ad Hoc IEEE 802.11 WLAN with Noncooperative Stations
نویسنده
چکیده
For an ad hoc IEEE 802.11 WLAN we investigate how the stations' incentives to launch a backoff attack i.e., to configure small minimum and maximum CSMA/CA contention windows in pursuit of a larger-than-fair bandwidth share, affect a proposed capacity-fairness index (CFI). We link CFI to the network size, "power awareness," a station's perception of the other stations' susceptibility to incentives, and the way of learning how the other stations perceive the other stations' susceptibility to incentives.

Time Control for TCP Fairness in WLANs
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) based on IEEE 802.11 standard have been widely used in infrastructure and ad hoc networks. Although the MAC layer of 802.11 WLAN provides fairness in accessing the wireless channel, the channel capacity is allocated unfairly among stations and flows due to effect of the upper layer protocols such as TCP and asymmetric network conditions. In this dissertation...
متن کاملPerformance Study of IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN under High Traffic Conditions
The IEEE 802.11b medium access control (MAC) protocol is gaining widespread popularity as a layer-2 protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs). A good MAC protocol for WLANs should provide an efficient mechanism to share a limited wireless channel bandwidth, together with high bandwidth utilization and fairness in serving all stations. In this paper we study the performance of IEEE 802.1...
متن کاملInterleaved carrier sense multiple access: an efficient MAC protocol for ad hoc wireless networks
Wireless networks are inherently limited by the bandwidth constraint. MAC protocols for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) play the important role of arbitrating and statistically multiplexing the transmission requests of various stations contending to access the channel. The performance of IEEE 802.11 degrades in Ad hoc networks because of the presence of hidden and exposed terminals. To cou...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of collision avoidance schemes in ad hoc networks
IEEE 802.11 DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) is a popular protocol used for the physical and MAC layers in most ad hoc networks. DCF employs carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) and a binary slotted exponential backoff. It has been observed that the hidden and exposed terminal problems among stations are responsible for DCF’s performance-degradation. The issue...
متن کاملA new multichannel access protocol for IEEE 802.11 ad hoc wireless LANs
The IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) standard supports several equal-capacity communication channels which can be simultaneously shared and accessed by mobile stations. In such multichannel communication system, a mobile station basically can transmit on any of these channels based on a suitable access control protocol. However, with the feature of one transceiver per mobile sta...
