| Abstract(in English) | These days, multiple wireless local area networks (WLANs) have been often deployed in the same building of a university or a company. In those WLANs, access points (APs) are usually managed independently by different groups such as laboratories or departments. Then, a host can detect signals from multiple APs, which may degrade the communication performance due to their interferences and increase the operational cost Previously, we have proposed an AP aggregation algorithm to minimize the number of active APs in the field by aggregating them using the virtual AP technology. Recently, the IEEE802. 11n protocol has become popular as a high-speed communication protocol for WLANs However, our preliminary experiments using this protocol found that the link speed drastically decreases as its distance increases. In this paper, we extend our AP aggregation algorithm to considering this speed change so that any host can ensure the minimum speed with an AP while maximizing the overall throughput of the network. We verify the effectiveness of our extension through simulations in a network scenario using the WIMNET simulator. |
