Directional antenna systems are gaining substantial traction for aerial networks due to their higher gain, extended transmission range, and enhanced security. However, the requirement of beam alignment makes the task of finding and reaching…

WiFi-based indoor localization has now matured for over a decade. Most of the current localization algorithms rely on the WiFi access points (APs) in the enterprise network to localize the WiFi user accurately. Thus, the WiFi user's…

The Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture aims to support a plethora of network services, such as beam management and network slicing, through the use of third-party applications called xApps. To efficiently provide network…

While it is often critical for indoor-location- and proximity-aware applications to know whether a user is in a space or not (e.g., a specific room or office), a key challenge is that the difference between standing on one side or another…

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) based on IEEE 802.11 standards are becoming ubiquitous today and typically support multiple data rates. In such multi-rate WLANs, distributed medium access and rate adaptation are two key elements to…

Wireless roaming is one way to improve the reliability of a network of hotspots that are still using the topology Basic Service Set (BSS). When the user walks away from one access point (AP) or one AP die then begins to lose the signal, the…

Common WLAN pathologies include low signal-to-noise ratio, congestion, hidden terminals or interference from non-802.11 devices and phenomena. Prior work has focused on the detection and diagnosis of such problems using layer-2 information…

Multi-user multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO) designs can substantially increase wireless systems' achievable throughput and connectivity capabilities. However, existing MU-MIMO deployments typically utilize linear processing…

LoRa bridges the gap between remote locations and mainstream networks, enabling large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. Despite the recent advancements around LoRa, Internet access over this technology is still largely unexplored.…

Open Radio Access Networks (ORAN) is a new architectural approach, having been proposed only a few years ago, and it is an expansion of the current Next Generation Radio Access Networks (NG-RAN) of 5G. ORAN aims to break this closed RAN…

We present a new type of wireless access infras-tructure consisting of a fabric of dispersed electronic circuitsand antennas that collectively function as a massive, distributed antenna array. We have chosen to name this new wireless…

IEEE 802.11 networks continuously adapt to meet the stringent requirements of emerging applications like cloud gaming, eXtended Reality (XR), and video streaming services, which require high throughput, low latency, and high reliability. To…

Secure and scalable device provisioning is a notorious challenge in Wi-Fi. WPA2/WPA3 solutions take user interaction and a strong passphrase for granted. However, the often weak passphrases are subject to guessing attacks. Notably, there…

In recent years, WLAN technology has been gaining popularity around the world with its sub standard 802.11b receiving major deployments in many indoor and outdoor environments. In this article we investigate the performance of IEEE 802.11b…

In indoor areas such as homes and offices, high throughput communication for multiple devices is quickly becoming a necessity. Even though an access point (AP) mounted with an omni-directional antenna can cover a whole room, it cannot…

Densification of access points (APs) in wireless local area networks (WLANs) increases the interference and the contention domains of each AP due to multiple overlapped basic service sets (BSSs). Consequently, high interference from…

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,…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have become prevalent in wireless communication systems due to their promising performance. However, similar to other DNN-based applications, they are vulnerable to adversarial examples. In this work, we propose…

Optical wireless technology has the potential to complement the wireless access services provided so far over RF. Apart from the abundant unlicensed bandwidth available for ultra-dense deployments over optical wireless bands, optical…

The ongoing transformation of mobile networks from proprietary physical network boxes to virtualized functions and deployment models has led to more scalable and flexible network architectures capable of adapting to specific use cases. As…
