Abstract

Abstract: In order to improve throughput, MAC layer rate control mechanisms in the 802.11 network adaptively adjust transmission rates according to dynamic link quality conditions. A comprehensive literature survey on MAC layer rate control mechanisms is conducted in this paper. The principle of each mechanism is presented at the beginning. For each mechanism, its merits and demerits are discussed. Then lessons learned from these mechanisms are summarized. Finally a number of open research issues are highlighted.

Key words: rate control, 802.11, wireless networks, rate adaptation, Media Access Control（MAC）
