Researchers from Russia and China conducted a study to improve data transmission in high-frequency wireless networks. They have developed new methods that can significantly increase the efficiency of data exchange in such networks. This can result in a 3-3.5x increase in data transfer rate. The results of the study were published in the journal IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials.
Modern wireless technologies operate in low frequency bands and have limited bandwidth. Much higher data transfer rates are required to take full advantage of modern Internet technologies. Scientists suggest using high-frequency bands such as millimeter waves and infrared waves to achieve such speeds.
The problem is that high frequency links are not as reliable as low frequency links. Objects or even obstacles such as a person’s hand can slow the data transfer rate. Existing data transfer protocols do not cope well with high-frequency wireless networks. However, the researchers proposed a new protocol for interlayer interaction that takes into account the characteristics of the physical data transmission channel. This can significantly improve the performance of TCP and QUIC protocols in high frequency wireless systems.
Tests have shown that the new protocol can increase the data transfer rate by 3-3.5 times in high-frequency wireless networks. This is an important step in the development of future wireless networks and can significantly improve their performance.
