Abstract :
Several Rate Adaptation Algorithms have been proposed and implemented over the years, ranging from simple fixed-threshold methods to more complex machine learning based approaches. These algorithms employ different strategies to determine the optimal data rate, such as monitoring the number of successful or failed transmission attempts and estimating the channel conditions based on SINR or RSSI. In this paper, we evaluated four different Rate Adaptation Algorithms. The primary focus of this analysis was to determine their performance in terms of throughput and packet loss across various network conditions. These algorithms, which represented a range of approaches to rate adaptation, were tested to help us understand their relative strengths and weaknesses and select the most effective one. We then discuss the lessons learned from the results of this evaluation.
