Abstract

Wireless nodes within the same vicinity contend with each other for accessing the shared wireless medium. The contention constraints for sharing the medium depend on the medium access control (MAC) protocol that administers the accessibility of the network. In a previous work, we derived a set of sufficient conditions under which rates of all the flows are feasible given a MAC protocol. In this paper, we derive a new set of sufficient conditions that are better than those developed earlier. We show that these conditions are useful in solving many problems such as linear programming-based routing and admission control for QoS routing. We also evaluate, compare and discuss the performance of the derived sufficient conditions through simulation studies.
