Throughput Optimization and Fair Bandwidth Allocation in Multi-Hop Wireless LANs

Tags:
wireless lan

Overview There is an inherent well-known conflict between fairness and throughput that arises in many networking scenarios. A number of researchers have studied this problem in the context of (single-hop) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), where clients directly exchange traffic with Access Points (APs). More recently, researchers have proposed multi-hop extensions to WLANs where client traffic is forwarded via a series of client-client links. This paper shows that the objective of improving throughput without sacrificing fairness can be much better met in multi-hop WLANs. This objective is decoupled into two separate but related problems.

Leave your neighbour's WLAN alone

Gartner recommends companies working in areas where there may be several WLANs operating - multi-storey offices with lots of firms in, for example - should make sure they aren't accidentally connecting to other businesses' networks.

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

Because the range of a wi-fi link is limited to a few hundred meters, every vehicle also serves as a router, allowing messages to be sent via a multi-hop process to vehicles farther away, otherwise known as mesh networking.

Thames becomes giant wi-fi hotspot

The Thames Online service uses mesh networking technology across 100 access points, allowing users to roam along that stretch of the river without any interruption to their internet connection - effectively creating one big hotspot.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change.
