Using the 802.11e EDCF to Achieve TCP Upload Fairness over WLAN Links

D.J. Leith, P.Clifford

It studies the combined contention effects of TCP and DCF on uploading stations. NS2 simulations show a lockout problem that can be solved by giving preference to ack packets.

The authors also explain that in occasions in which the wireless hop is the bottleneck, the TCP dynamics are different from the traditional wired case.
