Implementing TCP flow-Level fairness using 802.11e in a multi-radio mesh testbed
Badarla, Venkataramana and Malone, David and Leith, Douglas J. (2008) Implementing TCP flow-Level fairness using 802.11e in a multi-radio mesh testbed. IEEE Communications Letters, 12 (4). pp. 262-264. ISSN 1089-7798 AbstractTCP is known to be subject to poor performance in multi-hop mesh networks. While most work has focused on interference and related issues, we note that cross-layer interactions can also induce considerable unfairness. In this paper, we propose a simple 802.11e scheme to mitigate these interactions and regulate TCP fairness in a flexible manner. The practical effectiveness of the approach is confirmed in a multihop, multi-radio testbed. | Additional Information: | Copyright Notice "©2008 IEEE. Reprinted from IEEE Communications Letters.
