New WiFi protocol boosts congested wireless network throughput by 700% | ExtremeTech
Engineers at NC State University (NCSU) have discovered a way of boosting the throughput of busy WiFi networks by up to 700%. Perhaps most importantly, the breakthrough is purely software-based, meaning it could be rolled out to existing WiFi networks relatively easily — instantly improving the throughput and latency of the network.
I found the description at ExtremeTech to be extremely unintelligible. I will look for other descriptions of how this new algorithm works.
