Fairness calculation on the base of the station media access time in Wi-Fi networks

The IEEE 802.tin standard networks are very popular nowadays. Such networks can use different throughputs and also different frame lengths, when aggregation is used. The fairness estimation seems to be very important tool for wireless network administrator to improve communication conditions in the network In this paper, the authors present results of the fairness calculation, when the time of media access is taken into account instead of the station throughput. The comparison of results of these two different fairness calculation methods is also included.
