For the latest updates, follow us on © WiFi-KS.org All rights reserved Maintained by iVision WIFI STATE OF THE UNION × In this talk, we take stock of the current status of WiFi in the home/enterprise/service provider fronts. The promise of WiFi 6 and some of the real-life trends on this front will be addressed. Progress and challenges on WiFi 6E will be covered. New standards and initiatives like 802.11be/WiFi 7 along with efforts on sensing, location, privacy will be addressed. Overall, we would like to convey the broad state of affairs in this area and paint a vision for the future. We will also point out the detailed talks in the summit on some of these areas. Close 6GHZ DEPLOYMENT: A REALITY CHECK × As the adoption of Wi-Fi 6E gathers momentum, it is important to understand the practical considerations of Wi-Fi 6E to make a judicial decision of when and how to deploy Wi-Fi 6E. Deploying Wi-Fi 6E goes beyond just replacing existing APs with Wi-Fi 6E models and in this talk we will discuss the different aspects to considered and balance that help adopters take a informed decision on when and how to roll out Wi-Fi 6E in their network to extract best value for their investment while maintaining seamless experience for Wi-Fi users. Close TOWARDS ENABLING ULTRA-LOW LATENCY APPLICATIONS OVER WI-FI × AR/VR, telehaptic communication, autonomous vehicles (including drones and self-driving automobiles), and cloud gaming are just a few emerging applications that rely on ultra-low latency and high throughput connections to become a reality. Such stringent requirements can only be achieved with protocol support from MAC that can prioritize traffic with tight QoS requirements while maintaining fairness in resource allocation. In this work, we initiate a study of different levers that can be pulled to enable such low latency communications over WiFi. In particular, we study the effect of packet marking on latency by allowing for preferential treatment to different flows. Close MULTI-AP HOME WIFI NETWORKS: TECHNOLOGY TRENDS AND STANDARDISATION EFFORTS × Multi-AP WiFi systems are one of the hot trends in the retail market. There are many buzzwords like EasyMesh, OpenSync, proprietary SON technologies, prpl Foundation efforts etc. We shall throw light on the work being done in the mesh arena under these initiatives. Close CHALLENGES FOR SCALING UP FIXED WIRELESS IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM × Fixed and mobile access networks are still swamped by ever-increasing demand fueled from cloud computing and video. While fiber and other wired solutions are throttled by high costs, protracted installation timelines and regulatory complexity, today's wireless technologies also miss the mark. Outdoor urban fixed wireless links are prone to poor performance because of obstructions, unpredictable interference and dynamic environmental changes, and often hard to install and expensive if new towers have to be built. Solving these problems needs development of novel technologies for a) fast and efficient multi-path beamforming to work in non-line-of-sight b) very-high spectral reuse to minimize spectrum requirements and c) real-time cancellation of interference in unlicensed bands. We will discuss results from real-life deployments of Tarana's multi-antenna technology has shown gigabit speeds in non-light-of-sight conditions with spectral efficiency reaching 100 bits/s/Hz i.e. capacity of 8 Gbps in 80MHz of spectrum, which is 20x faster compared to 4G/LTE. Close MULTI-USER SCHEDULING IN WI-FI 6 NETWORKS: A SIMULATION STUDY × IEEE 802.11ax, popularly known as WiFi 6, introduces OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) that divides the channel into an orthogonal set of sub-carriers, termed as Resource Unit (RU). This allows multiple users to transmit or receive frames concurrently. Due to its ability to perform concurrent transmissions, prior studies suggest that OFDMA will provide reduced latency and increased throughput in dense scenarios compared to OFDM. This work uses the latest 802.11ax models supplied by the widely used open-source network simulator ns-3 (version 3.34) to investigate this claim under various downlink traffic loads (5 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 280 Mbps). Our simulation results show that the actual benefits of OFDMA over OFDM can only be extracted under intermediate traffic loads. Motivated by this finding, we compare the performance of OFDMA and OFDM in various applications settings involving intermediate traffic rates. We find that OFDMA provides considerable improvements over OFDM on all parameters of interest, such as bitrate consistency for live video streaming applications and jitter for video conferencing applications. For applications involving small payloads such as web-based applications and factory IoT-based motion control applications, OFDMA results in 7 - 10 lower average latency. We complement the simulation results with an analytical model. Close POPUP × The ongoing pandemicsss in the world has created Work-From-Anywhere and induced radical shifts across multiple verticals like Education, Enterprise, TeleMedicine. Assured connectivity & WiFi user experience has become very critical which is never the case. Irrespective of protocol enhancements and various radio automation algorithms, visibility into user experience and assured connectivity in real-world is still a challenge. This leads us to emphasize the need for novel techniques which provide instant visibility and management of WiFi networks in real time, against typical ways of doing truck rolls with sniffers and analyzing logs from APs in a deployment, which is often time consuming and results in huge cost. Can Machine Learning simplify this problem ? Can we leverage trained ML models that can understand each of these device patterns in real-time and calculate its impact on user experience ? Can this be done real-time ? How to collect and correlate these data to provide visual insights as and when the experience degrades ? What not more, how about we convert these insights to actions for instant remediation ? In this talk, we will provide insights into this problem and discuss how Aprecomm is taking steps to create this paradigm shift in providing assured WiFi experience. Close WEB QOE: UNDERSTANDING APPLICATION PERFORMANCE IN WIFI NETWORKS × TCP is one of the most commonly used protocols on the internet. The ability to quantify the health of a TCP connection can help us estimate the quality of experience (QoE) of many applications which use the protocol. These applications can be web apps running over HTTP or remote desktop apps used for screen sharing. In this talk, we will discuss a new method for measuring the performance of a TCP connection over a WiFi network. Close PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH WIFI 6 OFDMA × OFDMA as a technology was introduced in 802.11ax with an expectation of efficient usage of spectrum for a large number of clients. The presentation would look at how this is achieved in the field by presenting test results of a few APs. Comparison between the performance in various bands, lab v/s field would be presented. Insights from this data, hits & misses would be discussed. Close WLAN INTERWORKING WITH 5G NETWORK × Service providers are increasingly using a variety of Radio Access Technologies (RATs) for providing service to mobile subscribers. IEEE 802.11 based WLAN is emerging as one of the most commonly used access technologies due to its significant advantages, such as, its low cost, the ease of use etc. The 5G Network architecture, as defined by 3GPP, is unique in the sense that the 5G Core is RAT agnostic and treats different RATs, such as, 5G NR, LTE and WLAN in a unified manner. The session provides an overview of the WLAN interworking with the 5G Core. Close EVOLVING REQUIREMENTS FOR WIFI IN IOT DOMAIN × Traditionally, WiFi protocols and systems are designed from the perspective of providing internet connectivity for home or office users. Whether it is MAC/PHY capabilities, security or QoS, the trend has always been upward, putting more demands on HW/SW implementations, with very less considerations for cost, computing resources or power-consumption. With the emergence of IoT devices, requiring both cloud as well as neighbourhood connectivity for different purposes, the requirements for WiFi are evolving. It is also not sufficient to always employ a single wireless technology(WiFI/BLE/Zigbee) based on parameters such as power-profile as the requirements are very temporal and the devices are still dependent on WiFi for IP connectivity. In this talk, we intend to highlight such IoT requirements, with the hope of getting them addressed in the near future. Close ASSURING QOE FOR MILLIONS OF HOMES USING DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE × The "New World" Post this pandemic has made us realize the importance of reliable Wi-Fi Connectivity is no more restricted to just offices but even homes. Ensuring reliable connectivity and meeting the demands across millions of deployments requires enormous computing power for analysis and optimizations, which becomes an expensive and ineffective solution if being handled by a centralized server. Combining the compute powers of both the edge and the cloud using distributed intelligence has proven to be very effective at affordable cost. Find out more from this Presentation on how distributed intelligence helps in Effectively processing Big Data, Adapting to ever growing user Demands in real time 24x7, Parameters to be considered, What an intelligence Edge system can offer? How the system has improved End User Visibility and QoE? Cost and operational benefits? How effective it is across various type of deployments? Close ML IN WIFI: A REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE × Machine learning (ML) is a buzzword used in many contexts including WiFi. We shall present ideas of how ML can be leveraged in the core WiFi technology area to help improve the experience. Real-life data will be used to showcase the potential of such techiques Close TR398 - COMPLIANCE & BEYOND × TR398 - defined and anchored by Broadband Forum - provides a set of test cases addressing the performance of Access Points supporting Wi-Fi 4/5/6 with minimum pass / fail criteria. It is quite popular among the operator community as a comparison benchmark between various access devices under consideration. In this presentation, we will discuss the background of these test cases, their rationale, and how the individual organizations can build on these basic criteria to create test scenarios that better highlight the performance, functionality, stability and scale of their individual implementations. Close OPEN WI-FI: FROM LAB TO FIELD × OpenWiFi is a community-developed, disaggregated Wi-Fi software system, offered as free open-source software, that includes both a cloud controller SDK and an Enterprise-grade Access Point (AP) firmware, designed and validated to work seamlessly together. This talk will summarize the current efforts of the OpenWiFi community to ensure the development and deployment of very high quality OpenWiFi products, by creating and executing a highly sophisticated and automated CI/CD test automation framework and running a state of the art community lab for testing openWiFi products in the lab and this talk also provides data from real world examples of successfully deployed OpenWiFi trial networks at large scale in college campuses in India. Close AFC FOR WIFI IN 6 GHZ × With the explosion of wireless devices in the world today, wireless has become more and more interesting. Users are demanding not only just more bandwidth but also superior user experiences. Carriers are therefore clamoring to introduce high quality SLAs, adhere to them and make their user base satisfied. Expansion in bands have hence taken place with the introduction of 6 Ghz Wi-Fi. This also brings unique challenges with incumbent operators and hence new standards for AFC have been introduced to co-exist and increase the bands. Hence the need for licensing of the 6G spectrum, the clean band where more power can be deployed with the enablement of AFC. There are also demands of continuous seamless connectivity that is driving carriers towards advanced telemetry and use of AI to proactively avoid outages. The talk will touch upon some of these advancements made in Wi-Fi to address these requirements and use cases and also outline how QCOM is working to make the world a better connected place. Close OPEN ROAMING × The talk will introduce the audience to open roaming and its current progress. It will cover the Cisco developed, standardized and adopted next generation onboarding process based on open roaming for simplified, seamless, secure and private guest onboarding and enhancing indoor coverage. Mac randomization is fantastic for privacy but what happens to visitor onboarding, identity mapping and behavior analytics, troubleshooting ? The talk will cover open roaming’s inbuilt privacy concepts and how all of this can be addressed.
