Proportional fair throughput allocation in multirate IEEE 802.11e wireless LANs

Albert Banchs · Pablo Serrano · Huw Oliver

The paper deals with multirate unfairness in a saturated scenario. The author provide a mathematical analysis and obtain a utility function to maximize. Then, provide differents approaches to achieve fairnes: CWmin tuning and TXOP tuning. Each of this approaches can also be applied in a centralized or distributed fashion.

In my first reading I had the feeling that the approach based on TXOP was somehow flawed, but I have to double-check to confirm.

There are many interesting things in this article, and I think that, after reading it, I can rewrite my own article from a different perspective.
