Abstract

It is well-known that TCP over IEEE 802.11 can lead to very poor network performance in terms of fairness. In this paper, we study active queue management and scheduling as an approach to overcome this problem. For the single-cell case, we show that the resulting mechanism indeed provides a fair bandwidth allocation among TCP connections.
