The growing popularity of wireless networks has led to cases of heavy utilization and congestion. In heavily utilized wireless networks, the wireless portion of the network is a major performance bottleneck. Understanding the behavior of the wireless portion of such networks is critical to ensure their robust operation. This understanding can also help optimize network performance. In this paper, we use link layer information collected from an operational, large-scale, and heavily utilized IEEE 802.11b wireless network deployed at the 62nd Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting to study congestion in wireless networks. We motivate the use of channel busy-time as a direct measure of channel utilization and show how channel utilization along with network throughput and goodput can be used to define highly congested, moderately congested, and uncongested network states. Our study correlates network congestion and its effect on link-layer performance.Based on these correlations we find that (1) current rate adaptation implementations make scarce use of the 2 Mbps and 5.5 Mbps data rates, (2) the use of Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send (RTS-CTS) prevents nodes from gaining fair access to a heavily congested channel, and (3) the use of rate adaptation, as a response to congestion, is detrimental to network performance.
无线网络的日益普及导致大量使用和拥塞的情况。在利用率很高的无线网络中,网络的无线部分是主要的性能瓶颈。了解此类网络的无线部分的行为对于确保其稳健运行至关重要。这种了解还可以帮助优化网络性能。在本文中,我们使用从部署在62 nd I> SUP> Internet工程任务组( IETF)会议,以研究无线网络中的拥塞问题。我们鼓励使用信道繁忙时间 I>作为信道利用率的直接量度,并展示如何利用信道利用率以及网络吞吐量和吞吐量来定义高度拥塞,中度拥塞 I >和没兴趣的 I>网络状态。我们的研究将网络拥塞及其对链路层性能的影响相关联。基于这些相关性,我们发现(1)当前的速率自适应实现很少使用2 Mbps和5.5 Mbps数据速率,(2)使用Request-to -发送/清除发送(RTS-CTS)会阻止节点公平访问严重拥塞的信道,并且(3)使用速率适配作为对拥塞的响应,会对网络性能造成不利影响。 P >
