Abstract

Focus on the weighted throughput fairness in IEEE 802.11e networks, we propose an adaptive and full-distributed access mechanism. We define a new parameter of Detection Window (DW) that has the same sizes for all nodes. During the process of DW, nodes detect messages of CSI and estimate active node number to set sizes of CW according to itself priority level. We set optimal CW sizes for nodes with the highest priority level and increase CW sizes for nodes with lower priority levels. The selected CW determines sizes of backoff windows and attempt probability of channel access, which can be reflected weighted throughput fairness corresponding to multiple priority levels. The simulation results confirm the validity and good scalability of the proposed access mechanism among multiple priority levels.
