IEEE 802.11 has become the main technology in local area wireless networks. However, performance anomalies, especially, in terms of fairness, arise in its use in ad hoc networks. ...
This paper studies the fairness with which competing flows share the channel in ad hoc networks using collision avoidance protocols. It is shown that the required multihop coordi...
Fair scheduling is an ideal candidate for fair bandwidth sharing and thereby achieving fairness among the contending flows in a network. It is particularly challenging for ad hoc ...

— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
— Mobile ad hoc networking allows nodes to form temporary networks and communicate with each other possibly via multiple hops. By using a special node called the gateway, an ad h...
