Abstract
We propose an adaptive carrier sense (CS) scheme with enhanced fairness based on an observation that the conventional adaptive CS mechanism may lead to significant unfairness. Our experimental study with an IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN testbed shows that the proposed algorithm significantly improves fairness compared to the conventional mechanism while providing competitive throughput performance.
