"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…
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…
Distributed Learning for Wi-Fi AP Load Prediction
Dariush Salami, Francesc Wilhelmi, Lorenzo Galati-Giordano +1
The increasing cloudification and softwarization of networks foster the interplay among multiple independently managed deployments. An appealing reason for such an interplay lies i…
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…
