Summary:
In multi-hop wireless networks, the number of hops from source node to destination node for each communication flow may be different, and it causes unfairness for the quality of services among communication flows. In this paper, we propose a fairness improvement method among communication flows for multi-hop wireless networks with no coordination, which means that all nodes in the network control their own transmission of packets without any exchange of control information about fairness improvement among their neighbor nodes. In our method, each node recognizes the surrounding transmission situation by overhearing packets from the neighbor nodes, and it controls its own packet queue and adjust the back-off time for packet transmission in MAC layer, to improve fairness among communication flows.
