In this paper, we present optimization approaches for Access Point (AP) location and frequency assignment, two major planning tasks in deploying Wi-Fi networks. Since APs are relatively cheap, the major concern is network performance. We…

As broadband Internet speeds continue to increase, the home wireless ("WiFi") network may more frequently become a performance bottleneck. Past research, now nearly a decade old, initially documented this phenomenon through indirect…

WiFi-based localization became one of the main indoor localization techniques due to the ubiquity of WiFi connectivity. However, indoor environments exhibit complex wireless propagation characteristics. Typically, these characteristics are…

Real-world deployments of WiFi-based indoor localization in large public venues are few and far between as most state-of-the-art solutions require either client or infrastructure-side changes. Hence, even though high location accuracy is…

Advances in the price, performance, and power consumption of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) technology have led to the adoption of wireless functionality in diverse consumer electronics. These trends have enabled an exciting vision of rich wireless…

We consider a hybrid wireless local area network composed of both WiFi and LiFi Access Points (AP) and wireless devices. Each device is identified in the network by a unique IP address, using a virtual network interface obtained by bonding…

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) empowered by IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) hold a dominant position in providing Internet access thanks to their freedom of deployment and configuration as well as the existence of affordable and highly…

Monitoring the network performance experienced by the end-user is crucial for managers of wireless networks as it can enable them to remotely modify the network parameters to improve the end-user experience. Unfortunately, for performance…

We show experimentally that workload-based AP-STA associations can improve system throughput significantly. We present a predictive model that guides optimal resource allocations in dense Wi-Fi networks and achieves 72-77% of the optimal…

Next-generation Home WiFi networks have to step forward in terms of performance. New applications such as on-line games, virtual reality or high quality video contents will further demand higher throughput levels, as well as low latency.…

It is important that the wireless network is well optimized and planned, using the limited wireless spectrum resources, to serve the explosively growing traffic and diverse applications needs of end users. Considering the challenges of…

As the number of WiFi devices and their traffic demands continue to rise, the need for a scalable and high-performance wireless infrastructure becomes increasingly essential. Central to this infrastructure are WiFi Access Points (APs),…

We propose and experimentally evaluate a novel method that dynamically changes the contention window of access points based on system load to improve performance in a dense Wi-Fi deployment. A key feature is that no MAC protocol changes,…

The performance of a wireless sensor network (WSN) depends fundamentally on how its various parameters are configured under different link quality conditions. Surprisingly, even though WSNs have been extensively researched, there still…

In this paper we address two basic questions in wireless communication: First, how long does it take to schedule an arbitrary set of communication requests? Second, given a set of communication requests, how many of them can be scheduled…

The majority of available wearable devices require communication with Internet servers for data analysis and storage, and rely on a paired smartphone to enable secure communication. However, wearable devices are mostly equipped with WiFi…

This paper explores the data cleaning challenges that arise in using WiFi connectivity data to locate users to semantic indoor locations such as buildings, regions, rooms. WiFi connectivity data consists of sporadic connections between…

Wi-Fi facilitates the Internet connectivity of billions of devices worldwide, making it an indispensable technology for modern life. Wi-Fi networks are becoming significantly denser, making energy consumption and its effects on operational…

Future networks will pave the way for a myriad of applications with different requirements and Wi-Fi will play an important role in local area networks. This is why network slicing is proposed by 5G networks, allowing to offer multiple…

With increasing popularity of media enabled hand-helds and their integration with the in-vehicle entertainment systems, the need for high data-rate services for mobile users on the go is evident. This ever-increasing demand of data is…
