Enhanced Rate Adaptation Schemes with Collision Awareness
نویسندگان
چکیده
While many existing rate adaptation schemes in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs result in severe throughput degradation since they do not consider the collision effect when selecting the transmission rate, CARA (Collision-Aware Rate Adaptation) [1] shows improved system performance thanks to its collision-awareness capability. In this paper, we propose two enhancements to the original CARA scheme to further improve the system performance. The first one is called CARA-RI, which extends CARA’s collision-awareness capability in making rate increase decisions, while the second one, called CARA-HD, incorporates a hidden station detection mechanism. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the original CARA significantly under various randomly-generated network topologies.

A High Tcp Performance Rate Adaptation Algorithm for Ieee 802.11 Networks
Rate adaptation is a link layer mechanism critical to the system performance by exploiting the multiple transmission rates provided by current IEEE 802.11 WLANs. The key challenge for designing such an algorithm is how to select the most appropriate transmission rate under different environments. The first generation rate adaptation schemes perform poorly in a collision dominant environment bec...
متن کاملCollision-Aware Rate Adaptation in multi-rate WLANs: Design and implementation
Many rate adaptation algorithms have been proposed for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN devices and most of them operate in an open-loop manner, i.e., the transmitter adapts its transmission rate without using the feedback from the receiver. A key problem with such transmitter-based rate adaptation schemes is that they do not consider the collision effect. Accordingly, they often result in severe throu...
متن کاملERA: Effective Rate Adaptation for WLANs
Rate adaptation consists of using the optimal rate for a given channel quality: the poorer the channel quality, the lower the rate should be. Multiple rate adaptation schemes were proposed and studied so far. The first generation rate adaptation schemes perform well in collision free environments and manage quite well strict channel degradation. Under a congestion dominated environment, these s...
متن کاملBEWARE: Background Traffic-Aware Rate Adaptation for IEEE 802.11 MAC
IEEE 802.11-based devices employ rate adaptation algorithms to dynamically switch data rates to accommodate the fluctuating wireless channel conditions. Many studies observed that, when there are other stations transmitting in the network, existing rate adaptation performance degrades significantly due to the inability of differentiating losses between wireless noise and contention collisions. ...
