The Princeton Advanced Wireless Systems (PAWS) research group builds, experiments, and evaluates wireless systems that enable data networking, the localization of people, objects, and devices, and intuitive interaction with machines. Our work covers all aspects of wireless computer networks, from the basic architecture of the wireless physical layer to the reliable flow of data between Internet endpoints.

Spotlight: Wi-Fi Goes to Town
Zhenyu Song, Longfei Shangguan, Kyle Jamieson
Wi-Fi Goes to Town (SIGCOMM '17) is a Wi-Fi based roadside hotspot network designed to operate at vehicular speeds and picocell (meter-sized) cells. Wi-Fi Goes to Town APs make delivery decisions to the vehicular clients they serve at millisecond-level granularities, exploiting very fine-grained path diversity in roadside networks. In order to accomplish this, we introduce new buffer management algorithms that integrate with 802.11 frame aggregation to allow participating APs to manage each others' queues, rapidly quenching each others' transmissions and flushing each others' queues.
