Article Abstract
Wi-Fi is an integral and invaluable part of our media practices. Wireless networks are blended into our media environment and, in terms of infrastructural importance, have become comparable with electricity or water. This article offers a new transnational perspective on the underexplored history of IEEE 802.11 standards by focusing on the tensions between the United States and Europe in terms of development trajectories of wireless technology. The goal is to analyze the standardization of wireless networking through a transnational lens and to contribute to enhanced understanding of the global proliferation of Wi-Fi technology. Four particular aspects of the transnational development of Wi-Fi technology are discussed: the rivalry between US and European standards, the constitutive choice to focus on data transmission, radio spectrum availability, and the peculiarities of network authentication.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to quarantine to slow the rate of transmission, causing communities to transition into virtual spaces. Asian American and Pacific Islander communities faced the additional challenge of discrimination that stemmed from racist and xenophobic rhetoric in the media. Limited data exist on technology use among Asian American and Pacific Islander adults during the height of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place period and its effect on their physical and mental health.

This paper presents a hybrid adaptive approach based on machine learning (ML) for classifying incoming traffic, feature selection and thresholding, aimed at enhancing downgrade attack detection in Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) networks. The fast proliferation of WPA3 is regarded critical for securing modern Wi-Fi systems, which have become integral to 5G and Beyond (5G&B) Radio Access Networks (RAN) architecture. However, the wireless communication channel remains inherently susceptible to downgrade attacks, where adversaries intentionally cause networks to revert from WPA3 to WPA2, with the malicious intent of exploiting known security flaws.

Background: Self-measured blood pressure monitoring is necessary for successful management of hypertension. However, disparities in blood pressure control persist, with low-income patients and racial and ethnic minorities more likely to have uncontrolled hypertension. These patients are also at increased risk for digital exclusion.

Wi-Fi sensing is an innovative technology that enables numerous human-related applications. Among these, Wi-Fi based person re-identification (Re-ID) is an emerging research topic aiming to address well-known challenges related to traditional vision-based methods, such as occlusions or illumination changes. This approach can serve as either an alternative or a supplementary solution to those conventional techniques.

In recent years, indoor user identification via Wi-Fi signals has emerged as a vibrant research area in smart homes and the Internet of Things, thanks to its privacy preservation, immunity to lighting conditions, and ease of large-scale deployment. Conventional deep-learning classifiers, however, suffer from poor generalization and demand extensive pre-collected data for every new scenario. To overcome these limitations, we introduce SimID, a few-shot Wi-Fi user recognition framework based on identity-similarity learning rather than conventional classification.
