Fi access points ’ back-haul to achieve a high aggregated throughput. BaPu is inspired by a decade of networking design principles and techniques to enable efficient TCP over wireless links and multipath. BaPu aims to achieve two major goals: 1) requires no client modification for easy incremental adoption

Spatial multiple access holds the promise to boost the capacity of wireless networks when an access point has multiple antennas. Due to the asynchronous and uncontrolled nature of wireless LANs, conventional MIMO technology does not work efficiently when concurrent transmissions from multiple

Abstract: Uplink/downlink fairness and performance efficiency are both considerable issues in an IEEE 802.11 multi-rate Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) provides equal medium access probability to all transmitters that cause the access

Abstract — We consider the uplink channel assignment problem in a multi-channel access point wireless network, with the goal of attaining maximum system throughput. In this setup, a set of orthogonal channels must be assigned to a set of users, where each user splits its power optimally across

Performance modeling of the contention-based reservation protocol in GPRS/EGPRS under bursty traffic is practically useful in system design. Instead of using discrete event simulation, in this paper we construct an analytical model based on stochastic Petri net formalism to efficiently investigate

characteristics alleviate the unfairness problem. We design a simple, practical, and standard-compliant framework to be employed at the Access Point (AP) for fair and efficient access provisioning. A dynamic measurement-based EDCA parameter adaptation block lies in the core of this framework. The proposed

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

architecture allows efficient on-the-fly reconfigurations of the physical layer into OFDM, CIA or a combination of both. Remarkably, its responsiveness is such that the uplink and downlink channel reciprocity from the medium perspective, inherent to time division duplex (TDD) communications, can be effectively
