Random linear network coding (RLNC) is widely employed to enhance the reliability of wireless multicast. In RLNC encoding/decoding, Galois Filed (GF) arithmetic is typically used since all the operations can be performed with symbols of finite bits. Considering the architecture of commercial computers, the complexity of arithmetic operations is con...

Wi-Fi has become an essential wireless technology in our daily lives, although the original intention of its introduction was to replace Ethernet cable. In this article, we outline the most remarkable features introduced during its ongoing technological evolution in terms of three major directions: throughput enhancement, longrange extension, and g...

Various packet-based simulation tools (e.g., NS-3) have been employed for design, validation, and evaluation of new protocols for WiFi networks since they offer cost efficiency, scalability, and reproducibility. These benefits come, however, at the expense of lack of realism compared to live testbed experiments. This is attributed in a major part t...

In enterprise wireless networks where Access Points (APs) are densely deployed, the importance of Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA) is more emphasized since the network is under severe inter-cell interference. In this paper, we propose Contention Factor (CF) as a metric for DCA in enterprise wireless networks. The metric is designed to minimize the...

Video streaming service via multicast is one promising technology for multimedia services over wireless local area networks. Given that many portable devices are battery-powered while video quality relies on the reliable delivery of video traffic, video multicast frames need to be reliably delivered to power-saving stations. In this article, we stu...

Video multicast service is becoming one of the most important applications over WiFi, due to the increasing popularity of WiFi for multimedia communication. On the one hand, energy efficient operation is required to WiFi technology due to the limited battery power of most WiFi-equipped devices. In this paper, we empirically study the video multicas...
