Optimizing Throughput Performance in Distributed MIMO Wi-Fi Networks Using Deep Reinforcement Learning

FPS Game Performance in Wi-Fi Networks

Multi-player online games (MOGs) have become increasingly popular on today’s Internet. Meanwhile, the IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) wireless networks have been widely used. We study how well an underlying 802.11g network supports a first-person-shooter (FPS) game, often considered the most demanding MOG in terms of network performance. We measure the latency and loss ratio performance experienced by the ...

Band-Steering for Dual-Band Wi-Fi Access Points Optimizing Dual-Band Wi-Fi networks

Multiuser - MIMO for capacity gain in Fi-Wi hybrid networks

Fiber to the Rooms paradigm is gaining a lot of attention recently. In this paradigm, the last mile wireless (viz., IEEE 802.11x) connectivity, backed by optical fiber infrastructure, supports uncompressed high data rate while rendering seamless mobility and higher frequency reuse. To provide cost effective solution, Access Points (AP) in each room are replaced by distributed antennas. A centra...

Optimizing City-Wide Wi-Fi Networks in TV White Spaces

White-Fi refers to WiFi deployed in the TV white spaces. Unlike its ISM band counterparts, White-Fi must obey requirements that protect TV reception. As a result, optimization of citywide WhiteFi networks faces the challenges of heterogeneous channel availability and link quality, over location. The former is because, at any location, channels in use by TV networks are not available for use by ...

Designing High Performance Enterprise Wi-Fi Networks

Use of mobile computing devices such as laptops, PDAs, and Wi-Fi enabled phones is increasing in the workplace. As the usage of corporate 802.11 wireless networks (WLANs) grows, network performance is becoming a significant concern. We have built DenseAP, a novel system for improving the performance of enterprise WLANs using a dense deployment of access points (APs). In sharp contrast with wire...
