Abstract :
To achieve ubiquitous connectivity, the Wireless Mesh Network is ideal for customers to access the growing array of services in the last mile where wired networks are prohibitively expensive to set up or simply inappropriate. This work focuses on improving bandwidth fairness where a number of different services are competing in the access link of the wireless mesh networks. We make use of game theory to model our arguments where the five services are agents / players that reach equilibrium to achieve fairness. We develop an algorithm for improving bandwidth fairness and implement the resulting logic.
