Unfairness Study among TCP Flows over Mobile Ad hoc Network
Yuehui Jin · Microcomputer applications · 2005
Based on the current MAC protocol IEEE 802. 11 MAC, TCP flows often faces serious unfairness over mobile ad hoc network, which forces some TCP flows to completely stop transferring any data despite all links being in good state. This is not acceptable for users. In the paper, we propose a priority-based method which bases on the idea that the queue output rate decides the time of the output packet. Simulation results show that our scheme can improve the fairness.
