Adaptive WiFi systems: Principles of design and application support

The basis of this article is the analysis of an adaptive approach within the concept of Green Communication. This approach encourages the reduction of energy consumption. Despite the fact that standards specification ignores the dynamic properties of the subscribers, they also provide the possibility to make modifications on the parameters that use the methods of adaptation as a natural reaction to the environment. Apart from the above mentioned modifications, both static and dynamic scenarios, along with their limitations, are briefly examined. Aiming to highlight and determine the advantages and disadvantages of each method and to better comprehend the relation between the parameters and the results, this paper discusses the methods of adaptation and control of the parameters of the access points that are within the principles of adaptation. In addition, there is a software simulator shown for adaptive wireless access points.
