Rate control algorithms for commercial 802.11 devices strongly rely on packet losses for their adaptation. As a result, they give poor performance in dense networks because they are not able to distinguish packet losses related to channel error from packet losses due to collision. In this paper, we evaluate automatic rate adaptation algorithms in IEEE 802.11 dense networks. A certain number of ...
