A resource management framework for 802.11 wireless access networks
Résumé
This article proposes a management framework for shared resources in wireless access networks in a dynamic and adaptive manner without requiring any modifications to end devices. Our proposal is based on the RTS/CTS mechanism according to the IEEE 802.11 standard. We implement an extension of the RTS/CTS mechanism, including traffic control to minimize performance anomalies. The results show a performance improvement and a reduction of interference that results from the different bit rates among the stations
