The control packets include hello packets, free-to-transmit message, clock synchronization packets, etc. Jain's fairness index [38] has been used for measuring the fairness level of the studied protocols based on AP.
In Fig. 7 b, we observe the achieved fairness levels of the studied protocols for various workload patterns (WPs), as listed in Table 6.
We have also measured the Jain's fairness index of the studied protocols for varying number of APs and workloads, as depicted in Fig. 7.
This limitation results from the fairness constraints of the studied schedulers and from the traffic statistics which allow that users have nothing to transmit at some point in time.
"When we see this kind of behavior in humans, we call it fairness," says the study's lead author, psychologist Darby Proctor, now of Emory University, who adds that researchers shouldn't "hesitate to call it fairness in chimps".
In fairness, the study is far from a breathless account of RV.
We also validate the fairness of the proposed mechanism through simulation studies.
An ABC News poll in April found that 51percentt of respondents supported a nationwide moratorium on executions while a commission studied the fairness of the death penalty.
Governor Glendening, whose term ends next week, ordered a moratorium on executions last May, saying it would be "logically inconsistent" for the state to continue to execute people while it studied the fairness of the process.
Last December, when Mr. Clinton was considering postponing Mr. Garza's execution, the State Department's human rights bureau urged him to grant a delay, pending the completion of a Justice Department study into the fairness of the application of the federal death penalty.
