Fair Mac Protocol for Achieving Proportional Fairness in Multirate WSN

by Nusaibah Al-Ratta

In a multirate environment, slow nodes occupy the channel for longer time than fast nodes and thus the total throughput will be reduced. In this research, we study the problem of fairness in multirate wireless sensor networks. To improve the fairness, we are proposing a new protocol, FMAC (Fair MAC protocol) that is based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol to achieve proportional fairness between different nodes. FMAC protocol utilizes the idle slots of...
