We present an adapted max-min fairness framework to the specifics of MANETs. We introduce a practically implementable cross-layer network architecture which enforces our formal model. We have verified with simulations and real world experiments that under our adaptive rate limiting scheme unfair behavior virtually vanishes. The direct consequence of this work guaranteed stable services for TCP-based applications in MANETs including traditional FTP web as well as for UDP-based sessions. Copyright 2007 E. Osipov and C.

INTRODUCTION Poor and unstable TCP performance over multihop wireless links is one of the stumbling blocks which prevents mobile ad hoc networks MANETs from wide deployment and popularization. TCP capture as is described in 1 is one of the unsolved problems in MANETs which manifests itself in extremely unfair distribution of network bandwidth between competing sessions. The problem of the unfairness is a feature of inadequate behavior of the congestion control mechanism of TCP in radio transmission medium. The major assumption for TCP s congestion control .
