Throughput Fairness in Infrastructure-Based IEEE 802.11 Mesh Networks

This paper studies throughput fairness among different basic service sets (BSSs) in infrastructure-based IEEE 802.11 mesh networks, where inter-BSS interference is unavoidable because of the difficulty in frequency and coverage planning and the limited number of nonoverlapping frequency channels that are available for IEEE networks. Two approaches are proposed to achieve fair throughput among the cochannel BSSs: 1) dynamic network allocation …
