Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm that determines effective Overlapping Basic Service Set/Preamble Detection (OBSS/PD) threshold levels in each WiFi6 device to maximize the total throughput by increasing the spectral efficiency. Within WiFi6 standard, OBSS/PD mechanism is introduced to increase the overall efficiency of WiFi networks by tuning the receiver sensitivity as well as the transmission power. In a nutshell, the proposed algorithm, RACEBOT, tunes the hearing (i.e. reception) and speaking (i.e. transmission) parameters of each WiFi device individually for the betterment of the WiFi experience of all WiFi networks in a neighborhood. WiFi experience is not only …
