Abstract

To extend established concepts of fair resource allocation in wired networks to wireless networks, wired model assumptions must be adapted to be relevant for wireless networks as for example, in wireless networks losses due to environmental conditions may occur even in the absence of queueing congestion. Thus fundamental questions of the existence and uniqueness of fair rate allocations must be reconsidered. We treat wireless networks characterized by lossy channels, spatial channel reuse, multiple routes and multiple frequencies. We establish the existence and uniqueness of utility fair and max-min fair solutions and that, as loss rates decrease, fair allocations converge to the loss-less ones.
