> [Abstract] "we develop a machine learning based AP selection strategy that can significantly improve WiFi connection set-up performance, against the conventional strategy purely based on signal strength, by reducing the connection set-up failures from 33% to 3.6% and reducing 80% time costs of the connection set-up processes by more than 10 times."
> [Conclusion] "The correlation analysis finds that though the signal strength is important, knowing the AP model and mobile device model has great help to predict the connection set-up time cost. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to add AP model and mobile device model as features which greatly increases the accuracy to predict the connection set-up time cost."

I requested this a while ago and was told that, although they like the idea, adding standardized blockquote markup would somehow break HN's spam filter.
