  Abstract

There have been various research efforts to support the fairness between uplink and downlink of TCP streams in IEEE 802.11 networks. Existing methods, which have been effective for the fairness, however could not provide the solution for the unfairness caused by the situation in which a station which is having multiple TCP uplink streams monopolizes the uplink bandwidth. This paper proposes a method that AP allocates token buckets for each uplink TCP station. The proposed method is also able to support the fairness between the uplink and downlink. To remedy the underutilization which may happen under token bucket-based schemes, it allows the movement of redundant tokens among the token buckets. By controlling the token movements, it can balance the fairness and the utilization. Simulation results show that the proposed method is able to support the fairness of the TCP uplink stations, as well as the fairness between the uplink and downlink.
