Abstract(in English) When many stations (STAs) share the wireless LAN, multiple wireless LAN access points (Aps) will be needed to improve the transmission capacity of the wireless LAN. We here focus on a situation where each of STAs chooses an appropriate AP among available Aps in a distributed manner. In particular, efficient and fair manners are of our major concern. For example, the choice based upon each received power is one of straightforward ways, but may not lead to good performance. In this paper, we propose AP selection strategies for achieving an efficient and fair share of wireless access resources, and evaluate them by simulations. Through our results, the proposed strategies can attain an excellent throughput performance by use of the number of active STAs sharing each AP. Furthermore, if STAs roam from one AP to another in response to changing situation, the total throughput and fairness can be improved very much.
