Smart User Control in Wi-Fi Access Points

Current cellular networks use a method called "slicing" to improve speed and stability per user. Each slice has different performance and service requirements, and each user can be assigned the slice which comes closest to these specifications. This functionality is not present on the current state of the art routers, which can impact user experience significantly, especially when multiple users are connected to the same access point. This research aims at investigating and collecting metadata from Wi-Fi packets in specific use cases, which can act as a basis for an implementation similar to slicing in mobile networks. Furthermore, a proof of concept implementation will be presented that includes a wireless optimization process and can act as a basis for a possible "slicing" implementation.
