Rate adaptation is a fundamental primitive in wireless networks. Since wireless channel strength varies quickly and unpredictably, senders have to constantly measure the channel a...
—Wireless Internet access is facilitated by IEEE 802.11 WLANs that, in addition to realizing a specific form of CSMA/CA—distributed coordination function (DCF)— implement a ...
Abstract— Rate adaptation plays a key role in determining the performance of wireless LANs. In this paper, we introduce a semi-Markovian framework to analyze the performance of t...
— In a WLAN subject to variable wireless channel conditions, rate adaptation plays an important role to more efficiently utilize the physical link. However, the existing rate ada...
