TCP fairness in 802.11e WLANs
Leith, D. J. and Clifford, P. and Malone, D. and Ng, A. (2005) TCP fairness in 802.11e WLANs. IEEE Communications Letters, 9 (11). pp. 964-966. ISSN 1089-7798 AbstractWe investigate the use of the 802.11e MAC EDCF to address transport layer unfairness in WLANs. A simple solution
is developed that uses the 802.11e AIFS, TXOP and CWmin
parameters to ensure fairness between competing TCP uploads
and downloads.
