What to do about WiFi Congestion? New methods for dense, wireless networks.

该项目旨在设计和分析（无线）WiFi网络的新协议。对当前WiFi网络的需求正在以惊人的速度升级。WiFi使用未经许可的无线电频谱，因此通过WiFi进行创新比通过运营商拥有的网络更容易。WiFi还提供从严重拥塞的蜂窝无线网络的数据卸载。不幸的是，当前的WiFi多址接入协议并没有被设计为处理紧密封装的WiFi网络和由此产生的干扰。该项目采用了一种新的方法来开发对干扰更加鲁棒的算法，并使用简单的分布式机制将信道状态信息从接收器反馈到发射器，以最大限度地提高性能。

This project aims to design and analyse new protocols for (wireless) WiFi networks. The demand on current WiFi networks is escalating at a tremendous rate. WiFi uses the unlicensed radio spectrum, so innovation can occur more easily over WiFi than over carrier-owned networks. WiFi also provides data offloading from severely congested cellular wireless networks. Unfortunately, the current WiFi multiple access protocols were not designed to handle closely packed WiFi networks and the resulting interference. This project takes a novel approach to develop algorithms that are much more robust to interference, and which use simple, distributed mechanisms to feed channel state information back from the receiver to the transmitter to maximise performance.
