Abstract
The behavior of devices on a network can be modified on the medium access control level to achieve various application level objectives. These types of modifications can include organizing the behavior of transmitting stations to achieve various objectives (e.g., equal allocation of airtime on a wireless network link) for the transmission of data back to those stations' access points. Other modifications, such as changing various stations' maximum data transmission size and modifying an access point's amplifier gain could also be made.
