Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: Hi all, I believe a way to make Wi-Fi fast is to adopt a new architecture with a fiber fronthaul and 802.11-aware signaling to transports. That's what we've built with Fi-Wi, using commodity Wi-Fi silicon. A building concentrator schedules transmissions across radio heads connected over fiber, so the medium becomes a granted resource with managed service time. Contention-based access degrades as device density rises. Fi-Wi is designed so that a busy building keeps its responsiveness. After 13 months of work, we'll be running a MAC load demo at the IETF 127 Hackathon in San Francisco, open November 14 through 20. Registration is free: https://registration.ietf.org/127/ (choose "Hackathon Only") Plan and details: https://www.umbernetworks.com/umber-ietf127-full-hackathon-plan.html If you're there, come find us. We'd value this group's eyes on it, especially on scheduling, aggregation and latency under load.
