However, while WiFi is successfully used to provide user connectivity via access points, we note that currently deployed wireless mesh networks show a dismal performance and lack mechanisms in the backhaul to provide an efficient and fair data transport over multiple hops.
Then, we present a Fairness-based MAC (FMAC) protocol, which considers fair data link allocation among SUs.
Since, in the proposed method, we use {τ I,τ F } for data cost truncation and hence in order to perform a fair comparison, data terms of the other methods are also used with truncation on their costs.
The comparison of the values in Figures 11 and 12 with the FFT window lengths shown in Table 2 confirms that the use of an adaptive modulation strategy can provide fair data rate gains, as already reported in [29].
It would be itself fair to suggest that such a process does not fully adhere to the principles of FAIR data.
Consequently, even using a utility function with fairness property and large value for parameter V does not necessarily lead to fair data admission, and therefore, more considerations are needed in resource allocation for serving the queues.
Besides, there is few research on handshaking process in CRAHNs considering fair data link allocation among SUs.
