Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In recent, public WLANs based on IEEE802.11 standard are widely deployed. In an environment that several APs (Access Points) are available, a UTE (User Terminal Equipment) needs to choose an AP to associate. In such a case, the UTE associates with the AP with the strongest RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). This simple and conventional scheme, however, may make the UTE choose a heavily loaded AP even though there is any unloaded AP. Thus, it possibly leads to inefficient network utilization. Then, so far, more sophisticate schemes for AP association and/or user guidance have been proposed. To the best of our knowledge, however, these existing schemes do not take into account of individual difference among UTEs with respect to user utility, physical data rate, traffic characteristics such as traffic demand and packet length. In this paper, we propose a distributed user association control considering such diversity of UTEs. Through our numerical simulations, we confirm that our distributed control scheme can improve user utility.
