Hi,

I am giving a practice talk for my upcoming CoNEXT presentation and everyone is welcome to attend and give me hard time and useful feedback. Details and abstract below.


Thanks

Title: CoOperative Power Allocation for Interfering Wireless Networks
Time: 2pm, Tuesday 24/11
Location: MPEB 6.12
Abstract: As 802.11 wireless networks proliferate, interference becomes increasingly severe, particularly in dense, urban environments. These networks are usually operated by different users (e.g., tenants in apartments). In this work, we develop techniques for mitigating interference between such loosely cooperating 802.11 MIMO APs and clients, which do not share a high-speed wired backplane or central controller. We propose CoOperative Power Allocation (COPA), an approach to concurrent wireless medium access that combines fine-grained, per-subcarrier power allocation, nulling, and multi-stream transmission to claim capacity that status-quo approaches cannot. Jointly turning these knobs allows COPA to allocate subcarriers to senders partially, rather than all-or-nothing, and to embrace a measure of interference when doing so increases capacity.
