(8227) Wireless Networks Final Examination

On March 11th 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic as the number of global infections continued to rise. Since then, governments throughout the world have enforced strict social distancing policies to prevent the spread of the virus, bringing many industries to a standstill. At the time of writing, nearly half of the global population is on some form of lockdown, with millions of people being encouraged to stay indoors and work from home where possible. 

As a result, we’re seeing demand moving away from cellular networks and onto home Wi-Fi networks in an unprecedented way. It represents a huge shift in consumer behaviour that could never have been predicted and presents a great challenge to home broadband providers. However, new challenges also present new opportunities, and the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and its members are working hard to ensure that Wi-Fi technology steps up and delivers. 

That means the pressure is now on the wireless industry to deliver fast and dependable worldwide connectivity at a time when self-isolation and quarantine are becoming the norm. Following are some strategies identified by the WBA as possible solutions:

  1. OpenRoaming 
  2. Wi-Fi 6
  3. Wi-Fi 6E

Task    :           Your task is to design a solution for the aforementioned problem using the proposed strategies. You need to justify how your solution can deliver a more stable and dependable broadband service and solve the connectivity problems of a home network, enabling seamless and secure Wi-Fi roaming.  You have complete freedom to design a solution to improve the capacity of a home Wi-Fi network. Remember, less is more: simple solutions are the best solutions.

Method :         You must familiarize yourself with the current literature published under the above topic. Therefore, you must first perform a literature survey. Publications can be accessed via UC Library’s A-Z Databases.  A recommended database for this task is IEEE Xplore. If you have difficulties in remotely accessing the UC Library databases, please contact the library and they will be able to help you. If you are unable to access UC Library databases as recommended, Google Scholar may be an alternative option. However, not all documents from Google Scholar can be considered as peer-reviewed publications from legitimate sources. Next, you may proceed with the designing of your novel architecture.      

Format :          The final report must be prepared according to the guidelines of the attached template. It must have an approximate word count of 1100 (excluding references) and reference up to 8-10 peer-reviewed publications (preferably from 2010 onwards). IEEE referencing format must be followed.

Abstract— The abstract section is a concise digest of the content of the paper. An abstract is more than a summary. A summary is a brief restatement of preceding text that is intended to orient a reader who has studied the preceding text. An abstract is intended to be self-explanatory without reference to the paper, but is not a substitute for the paper. The abstract should present, the purpose of the paper, general materials and methods, summarized results, and the major conclusions. (Word Count: 100)

I.     Introduction (150 words)

It should give readers enough information to appreciate your specific objectives within a larger theoretical framework. A helpful strategy in this section is to go from the general, theoretical framework to your specific question. Remember to present only the most relevant ideas and get quickly to the point of the paper. After placing your work in a broader context, you should state the specific question(s) to be answered.

II.    Literature Review (250 words)

This section may include background information about the problem such as a summary of any research that has been done on the problem in the past and how the present experiment will help to clarify or expand the knowledge in this general area. All background information gathered from other published sources must, of course, be appropriately cited in IEEE referencing format.

III.   Design and Methodology (250 words)

The author describes the proposed solution to the problem identified in the Introduction. You must clearly state the originality of your proposal and what novel contributions your design brings to the body of knowledge. The author describes the architectural design, the apparatus, methods of gathering data and type of control. The general rule to remember is that the Materials and Methods section should be detailed and clear enough so that any reader knowledgeable in basic scientific techniques could duplicate the study if she/he wished to do so.

IV.   Discussion (250 words)

If available, here the researcher presents summarized data for inspection using narrative text and, where appropriate, tables and figures to display summarized data. You must clearly put forward a discussion to justify the originality of your proposal and how it solves the identified problem. Next discuss how your solution is superior than the state-of- the-art by benchmarking it against at least two other similar published works. Finally, clearly state your contributions to the body of knowledge. A useful strategy in discussing your proposed solution is to relate your specific results back to the broad theoretical context presented in the Introduction. Since your Introduction went from the general to a specific question, going from the specific back to the general will help to tie your ideas and arguments together.

V.    Conclusions (100 words)

This section simply states what the author thinks the solution mean, and, as such, should relate directly back to the problem/question stated in the introduction. By looking at only the Introduction and Conclusions sections, a reader should have a good idea of what the researcher has investigated and discovered even though the specific details of how the work was done would not be known.

References (no word limit)

You need to reference at least 8 – 10 peer-reviewed publications. These can be accessed via UC library’s A-Z Databases.  A recommended database for this assignment is IEEE Xplore. If you have difficulties in remotely accessing the UC Library databases, please contact the library and they will be able to help you. If you are unable to access UC Library databases as recommended, Google Scholar may be an alternative option. However, not all documents from Google Scholar can be considered as peer-reviewed publications from legitimate sources.  

The references section is excluded from the page count and follow the IEEE format. The template will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first ...” Unless there are six authors or more give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.”. Papers that have not been published, even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication should be cited as “in press” [5]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols.

VI.   Additional Information

A.    Formatting Instructions

The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them. You may note peculiarities. For example, the head margin in this template measures proportionately more than is customary. This measurement and others are deliberate, using specifications that anticipate your paper as one part of the entire proceedings, and not as an independent document. Please do not revise any of the current designations.

B.    Abbreviations and Acronyms

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the abstract. Do not use abbreviations in the title or heads unless they are unavoidable. An excellent style manual for science writers is [7].

C.    Identify the Headings

Headings, or heads, are organizational devices that guide the reader through your paper. There are two types: component heads and text heads.

Component heads identify the different components of your paper and are not topically subordinate to each other. Use “figure caption” for your Figure captions, and “table head” for your table title. Run-in heads, such as “Abstract”, will require you to apply a style (in this case, italic) in addition to the style provided by the drop down menu to differentiate the head from the text.

Text heads organize the topics on a relational, hierarchical basis. For example, the paper title is the primary text head because all subsequent material relates and elaborates on this one topic.

D.   Figures and Tables

a)   Positioning Figures and Tables: Place figures and tables at the top and bottom of columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Figure captions should be below the figures; table heads should appear above the tables. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Use the abbreviation “Fig. 1”, even at the beginning of a sentence.

Table Head Table Column Head
Table column subhead Subhead Subhead
copy More table copya    
  1. Sample of a Table footnote. (Table footnote)
  • Example of a figure caption. (figure caption)

Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figure labels. Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations when writing Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader. As an example, write the quantity “Magnetization”, or “Magnetization, M”, not just “M”. If including units in the label, present them within parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization {A[m(1)]}”, not just “A/m”. Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K)”, not “Temperature/K.”
