We address the problem of attaining proportionally fair rates using Aloha protocols at the
medium access layer. We consider a wireless network where all nodes need not be in
transmission ranges of each other. We show how the attempt probabilities in Aloha protocols
should be set so that the achieved rates are globally proportionally fair. For both slotted and
unslotted Aloha, we argue that each node can compute its optimal attempt probability just by
knowing some minimal information about the network topology in its two-hop radius.
