Access Point Selection Architecture adapted to the Real Trac in Wireless LAN
Madhava Jayawickrema · 2004
According to the spread of wireless LAN, many stations (STAs) can access to the Internet via wireless LAN and therefore, availability of multiple access points (APs) will be needed for those STAs. Consequently, following significant issue arises: how to select an appropriate AP among available APs. In the existing architecture, the received signal strength is usually used to select an AP. However, such AP selection strategy causes the concentration of STAs to specific APs and STAs connect with those AP cannot use the resource of a wireless LAN eectively. Hence, the decentralized AP selection architecture for the wireless LAN have been proposed, and showed that proposed strategies can achieve an ecient
