Accurate Passive Radar via an Uncertainty-Aware Fusion of Wi-Fi Sensing Data

Marco Cominelli, Francesco Gringoli, Lance M. Kaplan +2

Wi-Fi devices can effectively be used as passive radar systems that sense what happens in the surroundings and can even discern human activity. We propose, for the first time, a pr…

Exposing the CSI: A Systematic Investigation of CSI-based Wi-Fi Sensing Capabilities and Limitations

Marco Cominelli, Francesco Gringoli, Francesco Restuccia

Thanks to the ubiquitous deployment of Wi-Fi hotspots, channel state information (CSI)-based Wi-Fi sensing can unleash game-changing applications in many fields, such as healthcare…

Cross-Link Channel Prediction for Massive IoT Networks

Kun Woo Cho, Marco Cominelli, Francesco Gringoli +2

Tomorrow's massive-scale IoT sensor networks are poised to drive uplink traffic demand, especially in areas of dense deployment. To meet this demand, however, network designers lev…

Attacks on Wireless Coexistence: Exploiting Cross-Technology Performance Features for Inter-Chip Privilege Escalation

Jiska Classen, Francesco Gringoli, Michael Hermann +1

Modern mobile devices feature multiple wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LTE. Each of them is implemented within a separate wireless chip, sometimes packaged as…

Modelling Downlink Packet Aggregation in Paced 802.11ac WLANs

Francesco Gringoli, Douglas J. Leith

We derive an analytic model of packet aggregation on the the downlink of an 802.11ac WLAN when packet arrivals are paced. The model is closed-form and so suitable for both analysis…

Frankenstein: Advanced Wireless Fuzzing to Exploit New Bluetooth Escalation Targets

Jan Ruge, Jiska Classen, Francesco Gringoli +1

Wireless communication standards and implementations have a troubled history regarding security. Since most implementations and firmwares are closed-source, fuzzing remains one of…

Low-Delay High-Rate Operation of 802.11ac WLAN Downlink: Nonlinear Controller Analysis & Design

Francesco Gringoli, Douglas J. Leith

In this paper we consider a next generation edge architecture where traffic is routed via a proxy located close to the network edge (e.g. within a cloudlet). This creates freedom t…

Dead on Arrival: An Empirical Study of The Bluetooth 5.1 Positioning System

Marco Cominelli, Paul Patras, Francesco Gringoli

The recently released Bluetooth 5.1 specification introduces fine-grained positioning capabilities in this wireless technology, which is deemed essential to context-/location-based…

Quick and Plenty: Achieving Low Delay and High Rate in 802.11ac Edge Networks

Hamid Hassani, Franceso Gringoli, Douglas J. Leith

We consider transport layer approaches for achieving high rate, low delay communication over edge paths where the bottleneck is an 802.11ac WLAN. We first show that by regulating s…

Nap: Practical Micro-Sleeps for 802.11 WLANs

Arturo Azcorra, Iñaki Ucar, Francesco Gringoli +2

In this paper, we revisit the idea of putting interfaces to sleep during 'packet overhearing' (i.e., when there are ongoing transmissions addressed to other stations) from a practi…

Maximising the Utility of Enterprise Millimetre-Wave Networks

Nicolo Facchi, Francesco Gringoli, Paul Patras

Millimetre-wave (mmWave) technology is a promising candidate for meeting the intensifying demand for ultra fast wireless connectivity, especially in high-end enterprise networks. V…

A High Efficiency MAC Protocol for WLANs: Providing Fairness in Dense Scenarios

Luis Sanabria-Russo, Jaume Barcelo, Boris Bellalta +1

Collisions are a main cause of throughput degradation in WLANs. The current contention mechanism used in IEEE 802.11 networks is called Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision…

Implementation and Experimental Evaluation of a Collision-Free MAC Protocol for WLANs

Luis Sanabria-Russo, Francesco Gringoli, Jaume Barcelo +1

Collisions are a main cause of throughput degradation in Wireless LANs. The current contention mechanism for these networks is based on a random backoff strategy to avoid collision…

Emitter Localisation from Reception Timestamps in Asynchronous Networks

Nicolo' Facchi, Francesco Gringoli, Fabio Ricciato +1

We address the problem of localising a mobile terminal ("blind" node) in unknown position from a set of "anchor" nodes in known positions. The proposed method does not require any…
