WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) are typically based on IEEE 802.11 (known as WiFi). However, WLANs are prone to performance issues such as unfairness and inefficiencies. 802.11 includes a Rate Adaptation (RA) mechanism that allows user devices to change their transmission rate with regard to the current quality of the radio channel. The RA mechanism is based on preset values that may lead to suboptimal WLAN performance. Our goal is to address this issue by making fine adjustments to the parameters related to the RA mechanism. The search for an adequate setting is made complex due to the vast number of parameters to be considered that precludes the finding of general closed-form expressions. We propose to explore a data-driven approach based on techniques from Machine Learning to design an adaptive and distributed solution.

Participants: Walid Beckhit, Ahmed Boubrima, Manoel Dahan, Mohamed Anis Fekih, Ichrak Mokhtari, Hervé Rivano.
The partners in this project are: EVS, LMFA, Métropole de Lyon, Ville de Lyon , Atmo AURA, Météo France, Lyon Météo. Inria Agora is the leader of this project.
The 3M'Air project explores the potential of participatory sensing to improve local knowledge of air quality and urban heat islands. The main aim of this project is therefore to equip citizens with low-cost mobile sensors and then ensure an efficient real-time data collection and analysis. This allows to obtain a finer spatiotemporal granularity of measurements with lighter installation and operational costs while involving citizens.

ARC6 Robot fleet mobility under communication constraints, 2016-2019.
This work is a joint project with the Inria Chroma research group. Considering a fleet of drones moving in a 3D area, looking for a given target, we focus on how to maintain the wireless connectivity of the network of drones while the drones patrol autonomously. The other partners in this project are University of Grenoble and Viameca.

The partners in this project are: EVS, LIRIS, LLSETI and CITI, with LAET leading the project.
The goal of this pluridisciplinary project is to study, understand and model the behavior of cyclists in an urban environment with a methodology combining quantitative measurements of mobility traces and image analysis with qualitative information from reactivation interviews. In particular the input of Agora is to provide crowdsourcing tools for gathering mobility data that are optimized for the practice of urban cycling.
