Rate control at the MAC-layer is one of the fundamental building blocks inmany wireless networks. Over the past two decades around thirty mechanisms havebeen proposed in the literature. Among them, there are mechanisms that makerate selection decisions based on sophisticated measurements of wireless linkquality, and others that are based on straight-forward heuristics. Minstrel,for example, is an elegant mechanism that has been adopted by hundreds ofmillions of computers, yet, not much was known about its performance untilrecently. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive survey andanalysis of existing solutions from the two fundamental aspects of rate control- metrics and algorithms. We also review how these solutions were evaluated andcompared against each other. Based on our detailed studies and observations, weshare important insights on future development of rate control mechanisms atthe MAC-layer. This discussion also takes into account the recent developmentsin wireless technologies and emerging applications, such as Internet-of-Things,and shows issues that need to be addressed in the design of new rate controlmechanisms suitable for these technologies and applications.
