Abstract

In this paper we introduce a tractable analytic model of throughput performance for general 802.11 multi-hop networks. We use this model to explore a number of fairness issues in 802.11 multi-hop networks that have a significant impact on performance and capacity for realistic traffic. Schemes using the functionality provided by 802.11e are proposed to mitigate this unfairness and their efficacy demonstrated.
