In this paper, we develop a simple analytical model to investigate the rule maximizing the throughput of RTS\/CTS based multi-rate wireless local area networks. Based on the obtained rule, we propose two distributed fair auto rate medium access control schemes called FARM and FARM+ from the viewpoint of throughput fairness and time-share fairness, respectively. With the proposed schemes, after receiving a RTS frame, the receiver selectively returns the CTS frame to inform the transmitter the maximum feasible rate probed by the signal-to-noise ratio of the received RTS frame. The key feature of the proposed schemes is that they are capable of maintaining throughput\/timeshare fairness in asymmetric situation where the distribution of SNR varies with stations. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the existing throughput\/timeshare fair auto rate schemes in time-varying channel conditions.<br \/>\n<span class=\"paper_subtitle\">KEYWORDS<\/span><br \/>\nAuto rate, wireless LANs, medium access control, time-varying channel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/papers\/zhuyf_ieicetrans08_2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-117\" title=\"pdf\" src=\"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a>Yanfeng ZHU and Zhisheng NIU, <span class=\"papertitle\">Distributed Fair Auto Rate Medium Access Control for IEEE 802.11 Based WLANs<\/span>, <span class=\"papersource\">IEICE Trans. on Comm., Vol.E91-B, No.3, 2008 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[100,48,18],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=592"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":964,"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592\/revisions\/964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
