We extensively analyze the short (and long) term fairness
performance of wireless ad hoc networks. The primary goal
of our study was to investigate how multi-hop routing in an
ad hoc network would affect the fairness of the MAC layer.
Recently the fairness of the MAC layer of such systems has
been studied. We demonstrate that higher-level protocols
must also be considered when studying fairness. We analyze
the behavior of a network using DSR and DSDV as an
ad hoc routing protocol. The MAC layer used was IEEE
802.11.
The study is carried out for a wide range of independent
parameters. These include: (i) network topology, (ii) the
number of connections and their spatial location and (iii)
the injection rate and burstiness of individual connections.
We also studied the correlation between fairness and reception
ratio.
