Wireless Networks Lab

Currently, quality of Wi-Fi networks to manage the transfer of RTA data is not reliable. This is due to the fact that Wi-Fi networks operate in unlicensed frequency bands, in which device transmissions are often affected by interference from neighboring devices, and possible collisions during data transmission lead to high latency. In order to change the current situation, the IEEE 802 committee that develops the Wi-Fi network standard announced the beginning of the development of an addendum to the IEEE 802.11be standard devoted to real-time applications in Wi-Fi networks. Despite the fact that this supplement has just begun to be developed, it already describes some approaches to ensuring low latency and reliable data transfer, one of which was developed and proposed by researchers from the WNL: Evgeny Avdotin, Dmitry Bankov and Evgeny Khorov.

Head of Wireless Networks Lab Evgeny Khorov was elected a member of the Faculty Academic Council of HSE. The Academic Council is an elected representative committee responsible for the general management of the faculty. Every 5 year, the institute organizes a meeting of the board members to establish the Academic Council for the next period. The Interaction between WNL and MIEM HSE is a strong foundation to forge future telecommunications highly qualified specialists.

The Government Round Table with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was held in the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) on April 29, 2019. The discussion was devoted to the latest issues of the state national project «Science», in particular, to the human resource development with its goal to provide scientists with all the conditions necessary for research. The main direction of the discussion was focused on the question to attract young talented people to Russian institutes and laboratories.

The 7th Black Sea Conference on Communications and Networking (BlackSeaCom) is held this year on June 3-6 in Sochi, Russia. Wireless Networks lab is honored to host and organize the world-famous conference. The venue of IEEE BlackSeaCom 2019 is the Russian International Olympic University which is located in the heart of Sochi with many sightseeing places nearby.

EEE 802 Plenary Session was held on March 10-15 in Vancouver, Canada. The IEEE 802 Standards Committee develops and maintains networking standards and recommended practices for local, metropolitan, and other area networks, using an open and accredited process, and advocates them on a global basis. WNL members participate in the activities of the IEEE 802.11 Working Group that develops Wi-Fi.
