Data rate selection algorithms for Wi-Fi devices are an important area of research because they directly impact performance. Most of the proposals are based on measuring the transmission success probability for a given data rate. In dense scenarios, …
Machine learning (ML) has gained attention from the network research community because it can help solve difficult problems and potentially lead to groundbreaking achievements. In the Wi-Fi domain, ML is applied to solve challenges such as efficient …
The legacy approach to solve coexistence problems between multiple wireless networks operating in the same frequency bands is through network planning. However, this approach is often unfeasible in unlicensed (shared) bands, where different network …
Wireless networks operating in unlicensed bands generally use one of two channel access paradigms: random access (e.g., Wi-Fi) or scheduled access (e.g., LTE License Assisted Access, LTE LAA and New Radio-Unlicensed, NR-U). The coexistence between …
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) empowered by IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) hold a dominant position in providing Internet access thanks to their freedom of deployment and configuration as well as the existence of affordable and highly interoperable …
Wireless technologies coexisting in unlicensed bands should receive a fair share of the available channel resources, even when they use different access methods. We consider the problem of coexistence between Wi-Fi and New Radio Unlicensed (NR-U) …
Coexistence between cellular systems and Wi-Fi gained the attention of the research community when LTE License Assisted Access (LAA) entered the unlicensed band. The recent introduction of NR-U as part of 5G introduces new coexistence opportunities …
The proper setting of contention window (CW) values has a significant impact on the efficiency of Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, the standard method used by 802.11 networks is not scalable enough to maintain stable throughput for an increasing number …
Network operators are looking toward LTE License Assisted Access (LAA) as a means of extending capacity by offloading traffic to unlicensed bands. However, operation in these bands requires abiding by certain coexistence rules in terms of channel …
The problem of Wi-Fi and LTE coexistence has been significantly debated in the last years with the emergence of LTE extensions enabling the utilization of unlicensed spectrum for carrier aggregation. Rather than focusing on the problem of resource …
