An Access Point Selection Algorithm for Heterogeneous Stations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In wireless LAN technology, access point selection at each station is a critical problem in order to obtain satisfactory throughputs. The current protocol for access point selection is based on received signal strength, and a concentration of stations causes a degradation of the entire wireless network. To avoid the problem, various algorithms have been proposed. In the present paper, we first verify performances of known access point selection algorithms in the wireless LAN environment such that there are two types of stations communicating with TCP and UDP. Next, we propose an access point selection algorithm with QoS control for the heterogeneous wireless LAN environment. In the algorithm, each station uses different algorithms according to types of communication protocols. We finally show experimental results of the proposed algorithm and known algorithms, and verify effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

متن کاملMulti-hop Extensions to Heterogeneous Access Network Selection
This paper evaluates an access selection architecture able to handle heterogeneous technologies. We establish a generic access selection algorithm, which assigns different weights to the constraints established by both the network and the terminal. In addition, we improve the traditional operation by allowing multi-hop extensions, by means of which an end-user may reach an Access Element (i.e. ...

The mobile traffic has grown rapidly with the popularity of smart mobile devices. To accommodate increasing traffic, heterogeneous network integration is considered as a viable solution. By overlapping the coverage of heterogeneous networks (e.g., the long-term evolution (LTE) and Wi-Fi integrated network), the mobile operators can use the offloading service (e.g., Wi-Fi offloading) to reduce n...
متن کاملA Cross Layered Approach for Network Selection in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
Service delivery in a heterogeneous wireless network environment requires the selection of an optimal access network. Selection of a least favorable network can result in insufferable effects such as higher costs or poor service experience. Subsequently, network selection techniques play a vital role in ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) in heterogeneous networks. Network selection in such an en...

In multi access network environments, mobile stations may encounter multiple choices for selecting an access network. Carefully designed access selection schemes can provide not only mobile users with better services but also network operators with better resource utilizations. It is also envisioned that further improvements can be achieved by redistributing mobile stations from one access netw...
