Max-min Fair Rate Allocation in Multi-hop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Xueyuan Su, Sammy Chan · 2006
In this paper, a price-based rate allocation scheme for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks is proposed. To accurately reflect the clique constraint of wireless ad hoc networks, the clique-based price is proposed to act as the congestion signal, which controls the end-to-end rates of multi-hop flows. Through simulation, the proposed scheme is shown to be able to effectively distribute the bandwidth, according to max-min fair criterion, to multi-hop flows from the end-to-end perspective
