Here, it is clear to see that while power control provides some fairness gains (almost 14%) over maximum power transmission, ULIP achieves by far the fairest system with over 0.8 fairness rating.
The SAFARI algorithm uses CD as a cumulative routing metric, assigns channels to links using a modified version of the MeshTiC algorithm, and uses a linear programming framework to assign rates to users taking into account capacity, fairness, and rate constraints, see (6), (7), (8), (9).
In order to compare with fairness, the rate gain in the reference [5] is modified.
Because the Chi-Square distribution has infinite support, OMA does not provide fairness in rate allocation when.
We develop a pricing scheme within the Distributed-DCC framework and investigate several issues such as optimality of prices, fairness of rate allocation.
It is known that the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) guarantees for homogeneous networks, where all users have almost the same received power, a higher degree of fairness (in rate) than that provided by successive interference cancellation (SIC).
It is also pointed out in [5] that, whenever the received power is almost the same for all users, that is, the network is homogeneous, OMA guarantees a higher degree of fairness (in rate) than that provided by SIC.
The proposed RCM is supposed to be incorporated in router, which will have the capability of computing fairness in rate and time-stamped it in the headers of the control message.
Finally, we note that normalized effective network utilization is upwards of 90% for all scheduling techniques for both downstream and upstream flows; backlogged TCP flows saturate the spectrum around the gateway in all cases, irrespective of fairness in rate allocation between individual flows.
