Study on RED Algorithm Performance Based on Self-similar Traffic
Deyun Gao · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2006
The self-similarity of the traffic in WLANs is studied to show that the wireless traffic tends to have a self-similar behavior.The performance of the RED algorithm is studied under the self-similar wireless traffic in the WLANs by extensive simulation experiments.The simulation results show that there is little performance difference between RED and Drop-Tail algorithms because of the negative effects of the self-similar traffic and the features of the WLANs.The Drop-Tail algorithm can be employed at the access point to perform congestion control due to its less complexity.
