Fairness enhancement in wireless mesh networks

Published: 10 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Maintaining fairness in WMNs is quite important but has been given less attention relative to other aspects such as capacity maximization and maintaining connectivity [1]. IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol has been used as the defacto standard for WMNs although it has been initially designed to operate in wireless local area networks. It is known to be unfair in multihop networks. This unfairness is quite evident in bursty conditions which frequently occur in WMNs where subscribers to the same service level must be fairly regarded.
