Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This work investigates the issue of distributed user-to-multiple Acess Points (AP) association, where a user requiring several applications may be served by several APs simultaneously. The problem is formulated as a network sum-rate maximization subject to the required QoS constraints for each user and application, and AP load constraints. We propose a distributed user-to-multiple AP association method, where each user can take an optimized decision locally, leveraging reinforcement learning. Simulation results show that, compared to baseline schemes, the proposed method enables large throughput enhancements while satisfying the stringent and diverse user Quality of Service (QoS) requirements as well as AP load limitations, thereby reducing user outage probabilities.
