WLAN 802.11ax Airtime Utilization Measurements

February 18, 2025
Author(s)
Nadia Yoza Mitsuishi, Jason Coder, Yao Ma
Due to the increasing demand for wireless services, the IEEE 802.11ax WLAN standard was released to enable improved performance, coverage, and spectrum efficiency. Given these advantages, its use has become more widespread in recent years, but measurements

WLAN Protocols Identification Using Machine Learning and Ensemble Models

January 7, 2025
Author(s)
Akimun Jannat Alvina, Yao Ma, Mark Golkowski
The growing demand for wireless communications has caused significant spectrum congestion, requiring multiple WLAN protocols to share limited spectrum resources. To address this, further research is necessary to optimize spectrum sharing and improve

5G NR and LTE Downlink Coexistence Measurements Using Software-Defined Radios

August 20, 2024
Author(s)
Nadia Yoza Mitsuishi, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
With the rapid deployment of 5G New Radio (NR) in the sub-6 GHz frequency bands, cellular operators need to accommodate this new technology within the limited spectrum licensed to them, mostly occupied by 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE). This poses the

An SDR-Based Performance Measurement of LTE and WLAN Coexistence

September 12, 2022
Author(s)
Nadia Yoza Mitsuishi, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
In this paper, we report on a software-defined radio (SDR) based test setup to emulate and evaluate the performance of a few wireless coexistence scenarios. The first case we study consists of two long-term evolution (LTE) downlink channels from adjacent

Bi-Criteria Radio Spectrum Sharing with Subspace-Based Pareto Tracing

March 22, 2022
Author(s)
Zachary J. Grey, Susanna Mosleh, Jake Rezac, Yao Ma, Jason Coder, Andrew Dienstfrey
Radio spectrum is a scarce resource. To meet demands, new wireless technologies must operate in shared spectrum over unlicensed bands (coexist). We consider coexistence of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) License-Assisted Access (LAA) with incumbent Wi-Fi systems

Analyzing 5G NR-U and WiGig Coexistence with Multiple-Beam Directional LBT

February 15, 2022
Author(s)
Yao Ma, Susanna Mosleh, Jason Coder
The mmWave radio frequency (RF) spectrum allocations provide a large bandwidth and an excellent dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) opportunity for emerging 5G New-Radio unlicensed (NR-U) and Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) services. To support constructive DSS, we

Optimizing Unlicensed Band Spectrum Sharing With Subspace-Based Pareto Tracing

August 6, 2021
Author(s)
Zachary J. Grey, Susanna Mosleh, Jake Rezac, Yao Ma, Jason Coder, Andrew Dienstfrey
In order to meet the ever-growing demands of data throughput for forthcoming and deployed wireless networks, new wireless technologies like Long-Term Evolution License-Assisted Access (LTE-LAA) operate in shared and unlicensed bands. However, the LAA

Measurement Challenges for Spectrum Sensing in Communication Networks

April 27, 2021
Author(s)
Dan Kuester, Yao Ma, Dazhen Gu, Adam Wunderlich, Jason Coder, Joseph R. Mruk
We summarize a few key spectrum sensing measurement challenges and recent advances. Laboratory tests of sensing are complicated by their inseparable and often imbedded role in modern hardware. Results are difficult to calibrate because physical parameters

A Case Study of Medical Device Wireless Coexistence Evaluation

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
Mohamed Al-Kalaa, Joshua Guag, Seth Seidman, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
This article aims to provide a narrative for addressing wireless coexistence in medical devices to help medical device developers, test engineers, and regulatory affairs personnel throughout the device life cycle. Accordingly, we present a case-study

A Unified Analytical Approach to Multi-Cell LBT-Based Spectrum Sharing Systems

May 28, 2020
Author(s)
Yao Ma, Somayeh Mosleh, Jason B. Coder
Future unlicensed spectrum sharing scenarios involve multi-cell, multi-tier access of incumbent and emerging wireless systems, such as wireless local area network (WLAN), new-radio unlicensed (NR-U), and long-term evolution (LTE)with licensed assisted

Enhancing LAA Co-existence Using MIMO Under Imperfect Sensing

December 13, 2019
Author(s)
Somayeh Mosleh, Yao Ma, Jason B. Coder, Erik Perrins, Lingjia Liu
To meet the ever growing wireless network demands, in terms of subscribers and data throughput, operating long term evolution (LTE) in unlicensed bands, also known as license assisted access (LAA), is introduced as a promising solution. However, the LAA
