Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently, wireless LANs have been used widely. However, there are unfairness problems in wireless LANs, where a small number of stations (STA) attain large throughput, but other STAs hardly attain throughput. This unfairness problem occurs between an upload flow and a download flow because access point (AP) and STAs have the same transmission opportunity by CSMA/CA control. To solve this problem, we propose a cross layer control for per-station fairness by improving AP. The proposed method combining a queuing method of Deficit Round-Robin (DRR) in MAC layer and the dynamic contention window control in MAC layer. The proposed method used only MAC layer information for queuing between IP and MAC layer and controlling the dynamic contention window size. We evaluated the proposed method by using computer simulation, and show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed method acheived fairness in throughput per-station which have multiple UDP and TCP flows in the simulation experiments.
