Multi-AP Coordination in Wi-Fi Networks Using Centrally Controlled Overlay Time-Sliced Scheduling

Learn about ADWISER, an innovative overlay solution for Wi-Fi network performance management, in this technical lecture presented by Prof. Anurag Kumar from IISc Bengaluru. Explore the development of a centralized overlay queueing and scheduling mechanism that operates at the user and connection level to maximize network utility. Discover how ADWISER employs measurement and learning techniques to overcome the limitations of commercial Wi-Fi access points' built-in controls, which typically operate on long time scales without user-level visibility. Examine experimental results and implementation details that demonstrate the advantages of multi-AP coordination and the need for an enhanced control plane in Wi-Fi networks. Benefit from the expertise of Prof. Kumar, an accomplished researcher with extensive experience at AT&T Bell Labs and the Indian Institute of Science, who has made significant contributions to computer systems, communication networks, and India's first nationwide packet communication network.
