Access Disparity Mitigation in Multi-hop Wireless Networks

n Multi-hop Wireless Networks (MWNs), the end-to-end performance degrades exponentially with hop counts and the degree of traffic aggregation at each hop. Fair allocation of bandwidthamong nodes is one of the challenging problems in MWNs. The IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function standard stipulates long-term equalization of throughput among stations by giving the same number of transm…
