Wireless devices need spectrum to communicate. With the increase in the number of devices competing for the same spectrum, it has become nearly impossible to support the throughput requirements of all the devices through current spectrum…

The broad deployment of 802.11 (a.k.a., WiFi) access points and significant enhancement of the energy efficiency of these wireless transceivers has resulted in increasing interest in building 802.11-based IoT systems. Unfortunately, the…

Distributed Opportunistic Scheduling (DOS) techniques have been recently proposed to improve the throughput performance of wireless networks. With DOS, each station contends for the channel with a certain access probability. If a contention…

In this paper, we study the spectrum usage efficiency by applying wideband methods and systems to the existing analog systems and applications. The essential motivation of this work is to define the prospective coexistence between analog FM…

Integrated sensing and communication is a key feature in next-generation wireless networks, enabling joint data transmission and environmental radar sensing on shared spectrum. In multi-user scenarios, simultaneous transmissions cause…

The Spatial Reuse (SR) operation included in the IEEE 802.11ax-2020 (11ax) amendment aims at increasing the number of parallel transmissions in an Overlapping Basic Service Set (OBSS). However, many unknowns exist about the performance…

To address 5G challenges, IEEE 802.11 is currently developing new amendments to the Wi-Fi standard, the most promising of which is 802.11ax. A key scenario considered by the developers of this amendment is dense and overlapped networks…

As highlighted in the National Spectrum Strategy, Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) is key for enabling 6G networks to meet the increasing demand for spectrum from various, heterogeneous emerging applications. In this paper, we consider…

This paper aims to improve our understanding of the performance of the Non-Primary Channel Access (NPCA) mechanism, a new feature introduced in IEEE 802.11bn to enhance spectrum utilization in Wi-Fi networks. NPCA enables devices to contend…

Recently, IEEE 802.11ax Task Group has adapted OFDMA as a new technique for enabling multi-user transmission. It has been also decided that the scheduling duration should be same for all the users in a multi-user OFDMA so that the…

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…

The IEEE 802.11ad WiFi amendment enables short-range multi-gigabit communications in the unlicensed 60~GHz spectrum, unlocking new interesting applications such as wireless Augmented and Virtual Reality. The characteristics of the mmWave…

We investigate the spectral efficiency of full-duplex small cell wireless systems, in which a full-duplex capable base station (BS) is designed to send/receive data to/from multiple halfduplex users on the same system resources. The major…

In 802.11 systems, Rate Adaptation (RA) is a fundamental mechanism allowing transmitters to adapt the coding and modulation scheme as well as the MIMO transmission mode to the radio channel conditions, and in turn, to learn and track the…

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…

Multi-Access Point Coordination (MAPC) is becoming the cornerstone of the IEEE 802.11bn amendment, alias Wi-Fi 8. Among the MAPC features, Coordinated Spatial Reuse (C-SR) stands as one of the most appealing due to its capability to…

Seamless redundancy layered atop Wi-Fi has been shown able to tangibly increase communication quality, hence offering industry-grade reliability. However, it also implies much higher network traffic, which is often unbearable as the…

Joint access point (AP) association and physical carrier sensing (PCS) threshold selection has the potential to improve the performance in high density wireless LANs (WLANs) under high contention, interference and self-interference (SI)…

This paper considers a cross-layer optimization problem driven by multi-timescale stochastic exogenous processes in wireless communication networks. Due to the hierarchical information structure in a wireless network, a mixed timescale…

With the growing demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency applications, Optical Spectrum as a Service (OSaaS) is of interest for flexible bandwidth allocation within Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) and Open Line Systems (OLS). While OSaaS…
