Evaluating the Energy Consumption of LiFi Networks
Beschreibung
Join us in exploring the future of energy-efficient in-building networks! As demand for high-performance wireless connectivity grows, optimizing Access Point (AP) placement is critical to reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
In this work, you will:
- Measure power consumption of WiFi and LiFi networks under different AP placement strategies.
- Use planning tools to simulate and evaluate network layouts.
- Compare energy efficiency and cost per bit for various deployment scenarios.
- Develop recommendations for optimizing AP placement to improve sustainability and reduce costs.
Voraussetzungen
- Background in wireless networking and communication systems
- Experience with Python
- Strong problem-solving skills
- Availability to work in-presence on the testbed

Resource Optimization for Multi-Link Operation towards Wi-Fi 8
Beschreibung
Wi-Fi 7 introduces Multi-Link Operation (MLO) – a technology that enables devices to transmit and receive data across multiple frequency bands simultaneously. This innovation optimizes network performance and reliability especially in high-density environments.
In this thesis, you'll develop and evaluate cutting-edge resource allocation strategies for MLO using the ns-3 network simulator. Join this exciting research and help shape the next generation of wireless communication!
