"WiFox" that speeds the speed up to 700% by eliminating Wi-Fi data congestion

BySam_churchill

A research team at North Carolina State University developed software "WiFox" that speeds Wi-Fi communication speed up to 700%. Using this software, you can incorporate it into the network with just a simple software update without modifying the existing infrastructure.

Wi - Fi access spots that are frequent for users, such as airports and coffee shops, will inevitably be slow. This is because the computer and the Wi - Fi access point exchange data on one channel. When the user sends a data request, data corresponding to the request is sent, but when the request rushes, the request rushes while data is sent and overall performance is deteriorating That's it. If we raise the priority of data traffic the data reception will be finished quickly, but this time it will happen that the request will not arrive at any time.

North Carolina State University research team has developed software called "WiFox" that alleviates traffic congestion on this Wi-Fi. This software prevents data congestion by increasing the priority when the data to be sent by the access point still remains and ending processing quickly.

In laboratory experiments, when the number of Wi-Fi users is 25, the network has been speeded up to 400% of the usual and 45% by the normal, and the more people, the better The result was increased. Although the details of the network are not disclosed, if it is normally used 802.11n, it means that it is usually 7 Mbps at 1 Mbps.

A paper "WiFox: Scaling WiFi Performance for Large Audience Environments," co-authored by Dr. Injong Rhee and Jeongki Min (Doctoral Course) will be held from December 10ACM CoNEXT 2012It is supposed to be announced at.
