2   - Household \wifi{} network penetration keeps increasing to meet the demand of
3   - ubiquitous network access. Due to blockage and fading in signal propagation,
4   - however, \wifi{} APs can not provide uniform signal coverage within its
5   - vicinity. There are cases when a pair of users get better \wifi{} signal from
6   - each other's home AP at certain locations within their house, creating
7   - reciprocal sharing opportunities where they can improve their network
8   - performance by allowing each other to access their own private wifi{}
9   - networks. Such sharing relationship is \textit{immediate} between two parties
10   - and \textit{stable} over time, making it interesting to explore and practical
11   - to establish.
12 2  
13   - In this paper, we investigate reciprocal \wifi{} sharing opportunities in real
14   - life scenarios through extensive analysis of the 21 million scan results
15   - collected from 254 smartphones for 5 months. Reciprocal relationships are
16   - revealed despite the spatial sparsity of the dataset. Inspired by the results,
17   - we present the design of \wisefi{}, a system that detects and enables
18   - reciprocal \wifi{} sharing.
  3 + Widespread deployment of private home \wifi{} access points (APs) can
  4 + result in uncoordinated and overlapping wireless networks that compete with
  5 + each other for limited bandwidth. We expect this suboptimal arrangement to
  6 + only get worse, particularly in the the dense urban environments that house
  7 + an increasing fraction of the world's population. Broadband penetration and
  8 + the demand for high-speed \wifi{} throughout the home will lead to more
  9 + private APs, which will generate more interference for neighboring
  10 + networks, resulting in even more private APs and additional interference,
  11 + and so on.
  12 +
  13 + In this paper we investigate whether we can prevent this vicious cycle by
  14 + using \textit{reciprocal \wifi{} sharing} to make better use of existing
  15 + private home APs. We define reciprocal \wifi{} sharing as cases where two
  16 + users both improve their network performance by connecting to each other's
  17 + overlapping private \wifi{} networks. Compared to previous approaches that
  18 + attempted to use private APs to create large-scale open-access \wifi{}
  19 + networks, reciprocal \wifi{} sharing relationships more closely mirror
  20 + existing human relationships and can be maintained without elaborate
  21 + reputation mechanisms.
  22 +
  23 + To evaluate the effectiveness of reciprocal \wifi{} sharing, we analyze
  24 + 21~M \wifi{} scans collected from 254~smartphones over 5~months. Our
  25 + results show that even in a sparsely-populated suburban area, reciprocal
  26 + \wifi{} sharing is needed. And surprisingly, several reciprocal \wifi{}
  27 + sharing opportunities exist even among our extremely-small sample of users.
  28 + Motivated by these results, we present the design of \wisefi{}, a system
  29 + enabling reciprocal \wifi{} sharing.
