In this paper, we propose a novel rate control scheme, called Bi-Metric Rate Control (BMRC), which regulates efficiently the source rate in MHWNs. BMRC’s design is based on two MAC metrics: the Medium Access Delay used to detect the network contention level, and the Average Transmission Time used to estimate the effective packet sending rate by which the network will not be overloaded. The simulation results show that the adapted mechanism introduces significant performance improvement in terms of fairness, packet loss rate and delay in MHWNs. date: 2013-09 date_type: published full_text_status: public pres_type: paper pagerange: 1-6 event_title: 2013 IEEE 78th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Fall) event_dates: 2013 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Duong, Le Minh and Zitoune, L. and Veque, Veronique (2013) Improvement for Rate-Based Protocols in Multihop Wireless Networks.
