Abstract(in English) We have studied the Wireless Internet-access Mesh NETwork (WIMNET) as a scalable wireless local area network that is composed of multiple access points (APs) connected through the Wireless Distribution System (WDS). To avoid the performance degradation due to traffic overloads, the number of APs in a single WDS is limited. Hence, we have proposed a WDS clustering algorithm to partition a given set of APs into a disjoint set of WDS clusters where the APs in one WDS cluster shares a single gateway (GW) to the Internet and are connected by a single WDS. As all the traffics from/to the Internet pass through the GW in a WDS cluster, links incident to the GW can be bottlenecks of whole communications. In this paper, in order to increase the throughput there by adopting the MIMO channel at the GW, we propose an extension of the WDS clustering algorithm to the WIMNET with the MIMO channel GW. Through simulations using several instances, we verify the effectiveness of our algorithm extension.
