Most of the deployed IEEE 802.11e Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) use infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) in which an Access Point (AP) serves as a gateway between wired and wireless domains. We present the unfairness problem between the uplink and the downlink flows of any Access Category (AC) in the 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) when the default settings of the EDCA parameters are used. We propose a simple analytical model to calculate the EDCA parameter settings that achieve weighted fair resource allocation for all uplink and downlink flows. We also propose a simple model-assisted measurement-based dynamic EDCA parameter adaptation algorithm. Moreover, our dynamic solution addresses the differences in the transport layer and the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer interactions of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). We show that proposed Contention Window (CW) and Transmit Opportunity (TXOP) limit adaptation at the AP provides fair UDP and TCP access between uplink and downlink flows of the same AC while preserving prioritization among ACs.
