TCP unfairness issue has becomes pronounced in IEEE 802.11 WLANs due to the distributed coordination function (DCF) mechanism in the 802.11 MAC protocol. It introduces the per-flow and per-station fairness problem between uplink and downlink flows. The uplink flows generally dominate the downlink fl...
