Abstract(in English) Recently, the number of Wi-Fi enabled devises including public/private access points and terminals such as smartphone has been increased. As a result, dense wireless LAN will be likely to appear in the near future. In this environment, there are various access points with different settings in terms of channel bandwidths and frame sizes. Thus, the throughput performance is drastically decreased due to the performance anomaly (PA) problem caused by the imbalance between each airtime, which is the frame transmission duration. In this paper, we propose a new AP selection scheme with considering the differences in terms of channel bandwidths and frame sizes. In our proposed AP selection scheme, the STA adjusts the frame size in response to the transmission rate for achieving “Airtime Fairness”. Through simulation experiment, we showed that our proposed AP selection scheme can achieve Airtime Fairness, while improving the throughput performance effectively.
