Enhancing IEEE 802.11 MAC in congested environments

Imad Aad

IEEE 802.11 is currently the most deployed wireless local area networkingstandard. It uses carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) to resolve contention between nodes. Contention windows (CW) change dynamically to adapt to the cont ...

DOMINO: Detecting MAC layer greedy behavior in IEEE 802.11 hotspots

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Imad Aad, Alexandre Fawal

IEEE 802.11 works properly only if the stations respect the MAC protocol. We show in this paper that a greedy user can substantially increase his share of bandwidth, at the expense of the other users, by slightly modifying the driver of his network adapter ...
