Wireless Networks Lab

WNL paper “Super Fast Link Set-up in Wi-Fi HaLow Networks” written by WNL members Dmitry Bankov and Evgeny Khorov in collaboration with Prof. Katarzyna Kosek-Szott and Marcin Trebunia (AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland) has been accepted for publication in IEEE Communication Letters. This research continues a series of WNL research into the network solutions for IoT and considers the problem of fast authentication and the association of big numbers of devices in Wi-Fi HaLow networks.

WNL SUMMER SCHOOL 2020 пройдет с 1.07.2020 по 31.08.2020 гг. В рамках работы школы будут представлены актуальные исследовательские направления телекоммуникационной связи. Сфера научных разработок Wireless Networks Lab связана с созданием новой облачной архитектуры для беспроводных сетей на основе программных сетей и сетевых функций. Студенты лаборатории активно занимаются исследовательской работой, а полученные результаты публикуются в признанных международных изданиях.

The paper “Current Status and Directions of IEEE 802.11be, the Future Wi-Fi 7” by WNL members Evgeny Khorov, Ilya Levitsky, and Ian F. Akyildiz has been accepted for publication in IEEE Access. The survey gives a detailed description of the activity of IEEE 802.11be Task Group. WNL members have identified the main directions of the new technology development and documented them in the paper. It focuses on the open problems that can be solved by the researchers who want to contribute to the 802.11be.

The WNL members have developed a solution for Wi-Fi HaLow networks to divide the energy-harvesting sensors into groups and to assign them the time intervals in such a way, that the sensors can deliver their data with the required reliability and at the same time consume a minimal amount of channel time. The WNL Lab solution is designed to avoid the possibility of sensors running out of energy during the transmission and thus losing their data and enables the support of thousands of energy-harvesting sensors in a Wi-Fi HaLow network.

The paper “Prototyping NOMA Constellation Rotation in Wi-Fi” by WNL members Evgeny Khorov, Aleksey Kureev, Ilya Levitsky, and Ian F. Akyildiz and the new version of NOMA Wi-Fi Prototype will be presented at the #1 conference in telecommunications: IEEE INFOCOM 2020.
The prototype is modified to enable transmission and reception of NOMA frames, where the secondary constellations that have lower power can now be rotated by 0, 45, or 90 degrees.
