Rate adaptation for directional multicast in IEEE 802.11ad networks
Wonjung Kim, Taewon Song, Sangheon Pack · 2012
In this paper, we present a novel rate adaptation algorithm for directional multicast with a delay constraint in IEEE 802.11ad networks, which is an emerging communication technology over 60Ghz millimeter wave. The proposed algorithm seeks to find out appropriate transmission rates that preserve fairness among sectors and accommodate as many multicast devices as possible. Extensive simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
