Abstract(in English) Recently, the demand for visualizing congestion levels of Wi-Fi spots is increasing because Wi-Fi spots are said to be quite congested. In this paper. for this purpose, we employ a simple approximation formula about the relationship between throughputs and the number of active users associated with the access point. In addition, we try to estimate fiiture throughput variation which depends on fluctuation of the associated users using a state transition model. Then, we classify the congestion level into four categories depending on the current and future expected throughputs and evaluate the accuracy of our proposal. We found that our proposal shows acceptable accuracy rate of 70~90% in our experimental conditions.
