Title: Restored fairness in an 802.11 network implementing resource units
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2016-07-13
Abstract: IEEE 802.11ax capable nodes benefit from additional medium accesses compared to legacy nodes through the multi-user uplink provided by an access point (AP). To restore fairness to legacy nodes, a node's Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters, in particular EDCA backoffs, are updated using penalty values each time the node successfully transmits data to the AP over uplink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (UL OFDMA) resource units (RUs). This reduces the probability of the node accessing a communication channel through conventional EDCA contention. The penalty value is preferably provided by the AP which has an overview of the system and may be adjusted based on information local to the node, for instance the amount of data transmitted or its current contention window. The AP may provide the penalty value in a trigger frame 1120 or beacon 1140. The penalty value may be based on a ratio of bandwidth usage of RUs relative to a total bandwidth usage of communication channels and RUs.
