Achieving Application Level Fairness Through Utility-based Wireless Fair Scheduling

The increasing number of wireless data users and the deployment of broadband wireless networks have brought the issue of providing fair channel access to the forefront. Wireless fair scheduling algorithms must deal with unique domainspecific issues such as location-dependent and bursty channel error. In the past, a number of scheduling disciplines have been proposed for approximating fluid fair queueing in wireless channels, but using only the ARQ-based link-layer retransmit model [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. In this wor
