Have you heard about the new work of US Duke University researcher Justin Manweiler? He proposed that the access points should be able to co-operatively manage their shared radio environment, so that client gadgets can keep their Wi-Fi adaptors in sleep mode for longer, extending battery life. He claims that he managed to get "a median gain of up to 2x when WiFi links are strong; when links are weak and the network density is high, the gains can be even more".

What do you think of this proposal? Does it seem sound to you?

Thanks for sharing the PDF.
