Abstract:
In recent years, integrated wireless networks and spectrum sharing in such networks have been researched actively. We have also proposed a spectrum assignment method for improving the average throughput of the whole network. In this method, however, WiFi users would obtain higher throughput at the expense of WiMAX users. This would be unfair in WiFi/WiMAX integrated networks. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a fair and efficient spectrum assignment method for such networks. Finally, simulation experiments show the excellent performance of the proposed method.
