On E. W. Dijkstra's position paper on “fairness:''

Under a multi rate network scenario, the IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC fails to provide air-time fairness for all competing stations since the protocol is designed for ensuring max-min throughput fairness and the maximum achievable throughput by any station gets ...

The Probability Distribution of Slot Selection (PDoSS) of IEEE 802.11 DCF is extremely uneven, which makes the packet collision probability very high. In this paper, the authors explore how to make the stations select the slots uniformly, and give an ...

We investigate the optimal selection of minimum contention window values to achieve proportional fairness in a multirate IEEE 802.11e test-bed. Unlike other approaches, the proposed model accounts for the contention-based nature of 802.11's MAC layer ...
