Due to its static protocol design, IEEE 802.11 (aka Wi-Fi) channel access lacks adaptability to address dynamic network conditions, resulting in inefficient spectrum utilization, unnecessary contention, and packet collisions. This paper investigates …
The adoption of dynamic, self-learning solutions for real-time wireless network optimization has recently gained significant attention due to the limited adaptability of existing protocols. This paper investigates multi-armed bandit (MAB) strategies …
Emerging real-time applications in industrial and consumer wireless networks impose stringent requirements on latency and reliability. To address these demands, IEEE 802.11bn introduces the Coordinated Restricted Target Wake Time (Co-RTWT) mechanism, …
Multi-access point coordination (MAPC) is a key feature of IEEE 802.11bn, with a potential impact on future Wi-Fi networks. MAPC enables joint scheduling decisions across multiple access points (APs) to improve throughput, latency, and reliability in …
In unlicensed (shared) bands, wireless technologies typically operate without central coordination, which can lead to unwanted transmission interruptions, collisions, and resource wastage. We focus on Wi-Fi and NR-U coexistence in shared bands and …
Indoor positioning is an enabling technology for home, office, and industrial network users because it provides numerous information and communication technology (ICT) and Internet of things (IoT) functionalities such as indoor navigation, smart …
The densification of Wi-Fi deployments means that fully distributed random channel access is no longer sufficient for high and predictable performance. Therefore, the upcoming IEEE 802.11bn amendment introduces multi-access point coordination (MAPC) …
Multi-Access Point Coordination (MAPC) and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) are expected to be key features in future Wi-Fi, such as the forthcoming IEEE 802.11bn (Wi-Fi 8) and beyond. In this paper, we explore a coordinated …
Future wireless networks will need to support diverse applications (such as extended reality), scenarios (such as fully automated industries), and technological advances (such as terahertz communications). Current wireless networks are designed to …
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are nowadays mature technologies considered essential for driving the evolution of future communications systems. Simultaneously, Wi-Fi technology has constantly evolved over the past three …
