Scientists have increased the throughput of Wi-Fi by 700 percent Bashny.Net

Researchers from the University of North Carolina have discovered a technique to improve bandwidth Wi-Fi network by 700% from contemporary values.
This method is based entirely on software, which means that its implementation can happen within existing networks to instantly increase the speed of data transmission.



It can be noted that Wi-Fi network in a cafe or airport is not as fast as at home. The point is that in a public place to the access point connects to a lot more devices and they all work on the same wireless channel. Channel, depending on which wireless technology has a maximum throughput value (for example, 150 Mbit/s).
As a result of organichnost bandwidth and connect multiple devices problems occur during the connection of individual users, when due to high load on the channel data cannot be transferred freely and linger.
In order to solve the problem, scientists have come up with a software algorithm, called WiFox, which is part of the firmware of the access point Wi-Fi.



WiFox algorithm is a police officer, which regulates automobile traffic on a road with reverse motion, alternately opening the way for the cars going in different directions. In this case, apparently, the main task during the writing of the algorithm was that the switch was done very quickly.
During testing of the algorithm in a Wi-Fi network with 45 connections scientists at the University registered a higher throughput by 700%.
