In order to dynamically adapt the transmission bandwidth in wireless local area networks (WLANs), dynamic channel bonding (DCB) was introduced in IEEE 802.11n. It has been extended since then, and it is expected to be a key element in IEEE…

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) are the most popular kind of wireless Internet connection because of their simplicity of deployment and operation. As a result, the number of devices accessing the Internet through WLANs such as laptops,…

IEEE 802.11 has evolved from 802.11a/b/g/n to 802.11ac to meet rapidly increasing data rate requirements in WLANs. One important technique adopted in 802.11ac is the channel bonding (CB) scheme that combines multiple 20MHz channels for a…

Next-generation WLANs will support the use of wider channels, which is known as channel bonding, to achieve higher throughput. However, because both the channel center frequency and the channel width are autonomously selected by each WLAN,…

Distributed contention based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols are the fundamental components for IEEE 802.11 based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Contention windows (CW) change dynamically to adapt to the current contention…

Spectrum allocation in the form of primary channel and bandwidth selection is a key factor for dynamic channel bonding (DCB) wireless local area networks (WLANs). To cope with varying environments, where networks change their configurations…

This paper proposes a simple but accurate approximation to analytically model both the inter-WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) interactions and the negative effect of collisions in networks of IEEE 802.11 WLANs. Inter-WLANs interactions…

The performance seen by individual clients on a wireless local area network (WLAN) is heavily influenced by the manner in which wireless channel capacity is allocated. The popular MAC protocol DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) used in…

IEEE 802.11ax uses the concept of primary and secondary channels, leading to the Dynamic Bandwidth Channel Access (DBCA) mechanism. By applying DBCA, a wireless station can select a wider channel bandwidth, such as 40/80/160 MHz, by…

The existing medium access control (MAC) protocol of Wi-Fi networks (i.e., carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA)) suffers from poor performance in dense deployments due to the increasing number of collisions and…

Existing solutions to network scheduling typically assume that the instantaneous link rates are completely known before a scheduling decision is made or consider a bandit setting where the accurate link quality is discovered only after it…

In highly-dense IEEE 802.11 deployments, areas covered by multiple Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) will be common. This opens the door for stations equipped with multiple IEEE 802.11 interfaces to use several WLANs simultaneously,…
