Improving Accuracy in Available Bandwidth Estimation for IEEE 802.11-based Ad Hoc Networks
Abstract
In this article, we propose a method to enhance accuracy of the available bandwidth estimation in IEEE 802.11-based ad hoc networks. This method combines medium state monitoring, probability of collision estimation and backoff time evaluation, improving the method described in [6]. We evaluate our solution by simulation on different scenarios and compare it with different QoS routing protocols based on different available bandwidth estimation techniques.
