Comparison of Frequency-Domain Contention Schemes in Wireless LANs

In IEEE 802.11 networks, it is well known that the
traditional time-domain contention often leads to low channel
utilization. The first frequency-domain contention scheme, the time to
frequency (T2F), has recently been proposed to improve the channel
utilization and has attracted a great deal of attention. In this paper, we
present the latest research progress on the weighed frequency-domain
contention. We compare the basic ideas, work principles of these
related schemes and point out their differences. This paper is very
useful for further study on frequency-domain contention.
