Design a novel fairness model in WiMAX mesh networks

Fair flow rate optimization by effective placement of directional antennas in wireless mesh networks

“…However, except the pricing problem for generating compatible sets, another pricing problem for generating paths is also needed. We firstly derive the problem dual to (8), formulated in (9).…”

Heterogeneous Resource Allocation Algorithm for Ad Hoc Networks with Utility Fairness

“…Then it updates the transmission rate according to (16). Meanwhile, the link updates the clique price according to (15). This is an iterative procedure, where the new transmission rate of flow is reported to all maximal cliques every time.…”

“…When considering different performance of various applications, it may be impossible to assign resources simply based on the traditional criteria such as proportional fairness [17] and max-min fairness [15]. Therefore, we design a new resource allocation framework based on utility fairness [29,30], which can adaptively allocate resources to the users according to their utility requirements.…”

“…A well-known fairness criterion is called max-min fairness (MMF) [15,16], which tries to allocate bandwidth equally. That is, a resource allocation is said to be max-min fair, if it is impossible to increase the bandwidth of any flow A without decreasing the bandwidth of another flow B where B's allocation was less than or equal to A's allocation.…”
