—Fairness is an important issue when accessing a shared wireless channel. With fair scheduling, it is possible to allocate bandwidth in proportion to weights of the packet flows ...
—In multi-rate wireless LANs, throughput-based fair bandwidth allocation can lead to drastically reduced aggregate throughput. To balance aggregate throughput while serving users...
Carrier Sense Multi-Access (CSMA) is a typical method to share the common channel in a Wireless LAN (WLAN). It works fairly well in times of light traffic. However as the number of...
