Fairness and QoS in Multihop Wireless Networks
Overview In multihop wireless networks, fair allocation of bandwidth among different nodes is one of the critical problems that affects the serviceability of the entire system. Although there is significant research on the fairness issues in single-hop wireless networks, research on multihop fairness is rarely found in the literature. The paper studies various queuing schemes for multihop wireless networks and examines the fairness and throughput performance of each scheme. Each scheme offers a different degree of fairness. While relatively simple queuing schemes require less hardware and processing budget, they inevitably lack good fairness and performance. In contrast, the scheme that provides fairness requires per-flow (i.e., network-layer flow) queuing.
