Abstract: |
I will discuss recent work in two related areas in 802.11 based on
empirical observations and robust heuristics. The first concerns available
bandwidth estimation, and the second rate control algorithms. The link
between the two is the need to reliably isolate physical packet error
from total packet error, which is frequently dominated by congestion. |
