Funded Activity Summary

What to do about WiFi Congestion? New methods for dense, wireless networks. This project aims to design and analyse new protocols for (wireless) WiFi networks. The demand on current WiFi networks is escalating at a tremendous rate. WiFi uses the unlicensed radio spectrum, so innovation can occur more easily over WiFi than over carrier-owned networks. WiFi also provides data offloading from severely congested cellular wireless networks. Unfortunately, the current WiFi multiple access protocols were not designed to handle closely packed WiFi networks and the resulting interference. This project takes a novel approach to develop algorithms that are much more robust to interference, and which use simple, distributed mechanisms to feed channel state information back from the receiver to the transmitter to maximise performance.
