In this letter the development and testing of an open enterprise Wi-Fi solution based on virtual APs, managed by a central WLAN controller is presented. It allows seamless handovers between APs in different channels, maintaining the QoS of real-time services. The potential scalability issues associated to the beacon generation and channel assignment have been addressed. A battery of tests has been run in a real environment, and the results are reported in terms of packet loss and delay.
This paper analyzes and compares two different video conference solutions, widely used in corporate and home environments, with a special focus on the mechanisms used for adapting the traffic to the network status. The results show how these mechanisms are able to provide a good quality in the hostile environment of the public Internet, a best effort network without delay or delivery guarantees. Both solutions are evaluated in a laboratory, where different network impairments (bandwidth limit, delay, and packet loss) are set, in both the uplink and the downlink, and the reaction of the applications is measured. The tests show how these solutions modify their packet size and interpacket time, in order to increase or reduce the sent data. One of the solutions also uses a scalable video codec, able to adapt the traffic to the network status and to the end devices.
Cooperative driving using connectivity services has been a promising avenue for autonomous vehicles, with the low latency and further reliability support provided by 5 th Generation Mobile Network (5G). In this paper, we present an application for lane merge coordination based on a centralised system, for connected cars. This application delivers trajectory recommendations to the connected vehicles on the road. The application comprises of a Traffic Orchestrator as the main component. We apply machine learning and data analysis to predict whether a connected vehicle can successfully complete the cooperative manoeuvre of a lane merge. Furthermore, the acceleration and heading parameters that are necessary for the completion of a safe merge are elaborated. The results demonstrate the performance of several existing algorithms and how their main parameters were selected to avoid overfitting.
