MAC scheduling using channel state diversity for high-throughput IEEE 802.11 mesh networks.

The head-of-line blocking problem impairs the throughput of the hotspot nodes in multihop wireless mesh networks. FIFO scheduling in the current IEEE 802.11 MAC suffers from this problem when the network is highly loaded. The problem may keep the sender in backoff stage up to 70 percent of the time,...
