Predictive Congestion Control for <strong>Wireless</strong> <strong>Sensor</strong> <strong>Networks</strong> 451Throughput/weight (Kbps)800700600500400300200100Proposed schemeDPC schemeIEEE 802.1101 2 3 4 5Flow IDFIGURE 9.5Performance for tree topology with varying flow weights.weights will get proportional service rates. The DPC protocol achievesvery good fairness in the case of identical weights. However, the DPCfails when the weights are unequal because there is no mechanism to varyallocation of the channel resources. Overall, the proposed scheme achievesbetter fairness compared to the DPC <strong>and</strong> 802.11 protocols.Table 9.1 summarizes the overall performance of the protocols. The fairnessindex (FI) in Table 9.1 shows the fairness in case of varying flowweights. An ideal protocol will have the FI equal to 1.00. Both the 802.11<strong>and</strong> DPC protocols have FI smaller than 1.00, indicating unfair h<strong>and</strong>ling offlows, whereas the proposed scheme achieves fairness index equal to 1.00,indicating fair allocation of resources to the flows. The proposed protocolachieves an end-to-end fairness by recursively applying the proposedscheme at every node, which, in turn, guarantees the hop-by-hop fairness.TABLE 9.1Protocol Performance ComparisonProtocolAverageDelay(sec)FairnessIndex (FI)(mixweights)NetworkEfficiency(kbps)EnergyEfficiency(kb/J)Proposed 0.8 1.00 400.99 13.05802.11 — 0.91 77.86 3.23DPC 1.06 0.91 368.55 11.79
