"It's Your Turn": A Novel Channel Contention Mechanism for Improving Wi-Fi's Reliability
Francesc Wilhelmi, Lorenzo Galati-Giordano, Gianluca Fontanesi
The next generation of Wi-Fi, i.e., the IEEE 802.11bn (aka Wi-Fi 8), is not only expected to increase its performance and provide extended capabilities but also aims to offer a rel…
Performance Evaluation of MLO for XR Streaming: Can Wi-Fi 7 Meet the Expectations?
Marc Carrascosa-Zamacois, Lorenzo Galati-Giordano, Francesc Wilhelmi +4
Extended Reality (XR) has stringent throughput and delay requirements that are hard to meet with current wireless technologies. Missing these requirements can lead to worsened pict…
Continuous Multi-Link Operation: A Contention-Free Mechanism for the Unlicensed Spectrum
Gianluca Fontanesi, Francesc Wilhelmi, Lorenzo Galati-Giordano
This paper proposes a novel mechanism to enforce contention-free channel access in the unlicensed spectrum, as opposed to the traditional contention-based approach. To achieve this…
ConPA: A Contention-free Mechanism with Power Adaptation for Beyond Listen-Before-Talk
Francesc Wilhelmi, Paolo Baracca, Gianluca Fontanesi +1
In view of the need to find novel means to utilize the unlicensed spectrum to meet the rising latency and reliability requirements of new applications, we propose a novel mechanism…
Throughput Analysis of IEEE 802.11bn Coordinated Spatial Reuse
Francesc Wilhelmi, Lorenzo Galati-Giordano, Giovanni Geraci +3
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 a…
