The new software protocol increases the range of WiFi transmissions to an additional 67 meters without a set-top box
The new software protocol, called "On-Off Noise Power Communication" (ONPC), was developed by a group of researchers, led by computer engineers at Brigham Young Unviersity University. Wifi receiver's micro / transmitter up to more than 60m compared to existing protocols.
With the protocol being used in Wifi technology at the present time, to maintain the signal requires a minimum Internet access speed of 1 Mb / s. But with ONPC, only the minimum Internet speed is about 1b / s - a million times lower for the new protocol to work properly.
According to Engadget, in addition to allowing Wi-Fi devices to send and receive data as usual, this protocol also allows them to broadcast an additional sequence of binary numbers (including 0 and 1). This signal is intended to 'notify' the device that is still transmitting. WiFi signal continues to be maintained even without any data being sent.
During the test, the researchers discovered that the broadcast range of the ONPC protocol increased to 67m compared to the old Wifi protocol standard.
Theoretically, since ONPC is programmed on the existing Wifi protocol, it can be easily updated with a software update to all WiFi receivers / transmitters.
