On link-level starvation in dense 802.11 wireless community networks
Abstract
With the growing number of spontaneously deployed WiFi hotspots and home networks, end-users often experience significant performance degradation or even starvation. However, we observe that tuning individual system parameters (channel, Tx power, carrier sense threshold, transmit rate, etc.) is insufficient and may lead to starvation in some cases. In this paper, we develop a comprehensive analytical model to characterize the throughput of …
