This figure does not contain the 802.11 protocol performanceresults as the protocol is quickly stalled because of congestion <strong>and</strong> onlyvery few packets are received at the destination. Consequently, theobserved delay cannot be compared with the other protocols. In case ofthe CODA scheme, the node’s transmission is halted for a r<strong>and</strong>om periodof time as stated by the congestion policy (Wan et al. 2003). In consequence,the end-to-end delay is increased when passing though the congestedarea. Also, in this case, the proposed protocol with weightadaptation outperforms other protocols as it assigns radio resources proportionallyto the weights associated with flows. <strong>Ad</strong>ditionally, the hopby-hopweight adaptation takes into account problems that packetsencountered hitherto. Hence, the local unfairness is amended on the laterhops.Example 9.4.3: Performance Evaluation with OutgoingFlow Variation<strong>Ad</strong>ditional simulation has been performed using MATLAB to evaluateperformance of the outgoing traffic estimation <strong>and</strong> buffer occupancy controllerunder varying outgoing flow rate. The algorithm presented beforehas been implemented in MATLAB <strong>and</strong> executed for varying outgoingtraffic. The queue size is set to 20 packets, the ideal queue level is set to
