HTTP ABR Video Streaming based methods are being used by certain media players and video servers. With this, video is encoded with different data rates, stored on a content server (if possible) and streamed to different client devices. Media player at client device considers various performance factors and decides the rate that it should ask for the next video segment. There are different types of...
Deployment of Long Term Evolution (LTE) on unlicensed bands has been discussed recently in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 13, which is also called LTE Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) to unlicensed bands. Due to the unlicensed feature, other systems such as Wi-Fi and radar would operate on these bands. In order to avoid the interference, some management mechanism needs to be considered...
We focus on MIMO mesh networks, which consist of wireless nodes supporting MIMO transmission. Communication quality of a wireless link using MIMO spatial streams is sensitive to change in its channel, and performance will be unstable. For stable operation of MIMO mesh networks, a method analyzing the MIMO mesh networks is needed. In this paper, we aim to propose an analyzing method of MIMO mesh networks...
This paper proposes frame length optimization for wireless local area networks (WLANs) using an in-band full-duplex system that enables a WLAN access point and stations to transmit and receive frames at the same time on the same frequency channel. In in-band full-duplex WLANs, a primary sender which captures the channel transmits a frame to the intended receiver called a secondary sender and then...
This paper presents implementation of a reactive base station selection scheme for millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications. In mmWave communications, the frame loss rate increases and the throughput sharply decreases when a pedestrian blocks a line-of-sight (LOS) path. To alleviate this human blockage problem, base stations can be selected so as to maintain LOS paths on the basis of communication...
In this work, an industrial Wireless Local Area Network (iWLAN) system used to control industrial robots (iRBs) in factory automation (FA) environments is addressed. For fast and deterministic communication, we propose a synchronous multi-user round-robin transmission protocol. To reduce the overhead caused by the conventional multiple downlink access, we also propose a low overhead Packet Division...
Nowadays, with the quick rise in the use of WLAN empowered devices and the more far reaching utilization of WLAN, it is progressively essential to have a more proficient introductory connection setup system. There is an interest for a quicker get to authentication system faster than IEEE 802.11i as 802.11i uses 13 messages for authentication process while FLAP use only two messages for the same. So...
With increasing popularity of wireless local area network (WLAN) and emerging real time applications, seamless mobility has become one of the primary concerns. Hence the choice of a proper handoff algorithm is of utmost importance. Previous work suggests that WLAN usage efficiency can act as a good metric to measure the performance of a handoff algorithm. We argue that in a multiple AP scenario, the...
This paper investigates the dynamic selection of transmission opportunity (TXOP) which was originally proposed in IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA). A game theoretic optimisation framework is proposed to schedule the optimal TXOP value for every station according to the current channel capacity and transmission requirements of the stations, in order to improve the efficiency...
Cooperation in multi-access wireless networks have become an effective strategy for answering the rising data rate requests. The interworking is performed either by traffic steering, load balancing or yet radio resource aggregation, the so-called multi-homing. While most studies focused mainly on the first two techniques, we focus in this work on multi- homing, and target principally LTE and WiFi access...
This paper proposes an analytical model for performance evaluation of Cellular-WLAN Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) based on Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC) for variable-bit-rate (VBR) data services. This model considers system specific overheads and limitations such as limited number of supported modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of each network. Moreover, this model includes the traffic density...
Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links; each node operates as an end system and a router for all other nodes in the network. Nodes in mobile ad-hoc network are free to move and organize themselves in an arbitrary fashion. The path between each pair of the users may have multiple links and the radio between them can be heterogeneous. Use of...
As portable information devices with a wireless local area network (LAN) interfaces, such as smartphones and tablet computers, become increasingly widespread, high station density and accompanying severe area throughput degradation are becoming more commonplace. One factor related to this situation is that the initial minimum contention windows size (CWmin) value in current Carrier Sense Multiple...
By allowing simultaneous transmissions in neighbouring cells the spectral reuse and the overall throughput of a WLAN system can be increased. We have investigated the impact of varying the clear channel assessment threshold (CCAT) in different network deployments defined by IEEE 802.11ax Task Group, and we show the potential of 4 different algorithms. By increasing the CCAT value from today's legacy...
The integration of WiFi and WiMAX will allow a seamless connection between users for both connections with larger capacity, higher speeds and mobility access. A special router is needed to allow the interconnection between two different protocol network known as WiFi/WiMAX router. In this paper, we investigate and simulated based on the scenario using OPNET modeler simulation tools and compared their...
Wireless Network Card (WNC) manufacturers are capable of implementing algorithms in the IEEE 802.11 protocol dynamically. This fact may allow some WNCs to occupy channels in illegal ways with the purpose of delivering data at higher rates. In order to prevent this occurrence, it is important to develop methodologies to identify anomalies of WNC behavior. In the experiments discussed here, we demonstrate...
LTE in unlicensed bands (LTE-U) holds the promise of alleviating the licensed spectra scarcity and enhancing capacity by utilizing the unlicensed spectra. However, once LTE-U accesses an unlicensed band, there is almost no any opportunity for unlicensed systems (e.g. 802.11 WLAN) with inferior control abilities and CSMA/CA, to access that any more. In order to solve this unfair coexistence problem,...
A Wireless Internet-access Mesh NETwork (WIM-NET) provides the scalable and reliable internet access through the multiple access points (APs) and wireless relay communications. In particular, by redundantly deploying APs in the network field, the WIMNET becomes robust to the link or AP failure. However, these redundant APs increase the power consumption, and thus the number of active APs should be...
AsWireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) become denser and denser recently, the contention-based MAC protocol such as the IEEE 802.11 DCF, the de facto standard for the WLAN, should be modified to handle such dense WLANs. To this end, we consider a recently proposed novel MAC protocol called the Renewal Access Protocol (RAP) in this paper. With the RAP, we consider two strategies for resolving collisions...
Unlicensed LTE system holds high potential to effectively offload data traffic/video traffic from the crowded LTE networks. Listen-before-talk is generally necessary for unlicensed LTE to coexist with existing transmissions in the unlicensed band (e.g. wireless LAN). This paper studies the interaction of clear channel assessment (how hard one should listen before talk) and transmit power control (how...
