Abstract

For an ad hoc IEEE 802.11 WLAN we investigate how the stations' incentives to launch a backoff attack i.e., to configure small minimum and maximum CSMA/CA contention windows in pursuit of a larger-than-fair bandwidth share, affect a proposed capacity-fairness index (CFI). We link CFI to the network size, "power awareness," a station's perception of the other stations' susceptibility to incentives, and the way of learning how the other stations perceive the other stations' susceptibility to incentives.
