—In multi-rate wireless LANs, throughput-based fair bandwidth allocation can lead to drastically reduced aggregate throughput. To balance aggregate throughput while serving users...
Opportunistic user access scheduling enhances the capacity of wireless networks by exploiting the multi user diversity. When frame aggregation is used, opportunistic schemes are no...
Abstract—This paper focuses on designing a distributed medium access control algorithm that aims at achieving time fairness among contending stations and throughput maximization ...

We consider wireless LANs such as IEEE 802.11 operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum. While their nominal bit rates have increased considerably, the MAC layer remains practica...

—The traffic load of wireless LANs is often unevenly distributed among the access points (APs), which results in unfair bandwidth allocation among users. We argue that the load ...
