Abstract(in English) As a scalable, flexible, and inexpensive network, we have studied the wireless Internet-access mesh network (WIMNET) that is composed of multiple access points (APs) connected by the wireless distribution system (WDS). WIMNET may suffer from failures of links or APs due to hardware faults or network environmental changes. In this paper, we propose dependability extensions to link/AP faults of the AP allocation algorithm for WIMNET in indoor environments that has been proposed by our group. The extended algorithm finds AP allocations where even if one link/AP is failed, the connectivity of the APs is maintained, while seeking the minimization of the number of additional APs and the maximization of the performance. The effectiveness of our proposal is verified through simulations using the WIMNET simulator.
