Efficient MAC scheduling for ultra-dense wireless sensor networks based on 802.11 standard

Current work: Develop traffic modeling approaches aimed at effectively implementing artificial intelligence techniques, specifically for network traffic classification. Applying AI-driven embedded systems techniques, emphasizing real-time data processing and hardware acceleration strategies to achieve optimal performance. Additionally, I am actively exploring innovative incremental learning methods to dynamically adapt and enhance the capabilities of existing models. A key objective of my research is to seamlessly integrate these AI techniques into MAC scheduling frameworks, specifically tailored for ultra-dense network environments, with the goal of significantly improving WiFi network efficiency and performance.
