Abstract

Hotspots providers (using IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN, also known as WiFi) are looking into ways to increase revenue from their service and improve customer satisfaction/experience. We propose a practical two-hop relaying scheme, managed by the Access Point (AP) to increase aggregate data throughput. We argue that controlled and incentives based collaboration among nodes and AP can improve overall QoS and hence the driving force for making relaying commercially viable.
