Abstract(in English) The wireless Internet-access mesh network (WIMNET) has been studied to realize an inexpensive, scalable Inter-net-access network by using multiple access points (APs) connected by wireless links. WIMNET can improve the dependability to failures of links and APs by allocating APs redundantly. Since redundant APs may cause the increase of the operational cost and the degradation of the throughput due to increasing radio interferences, we have proposed the active AP selection algorithm for selecting functioning APs for communications. In this algorithm, we assume that every link speed is constant for simplicity, although our preliminary expenments found that the link speed greatly is affected by the distance in the new high-speed IEEE802.11 n protocol that has recently become popular. In this paper, we extend the active AP selection algonthm in considering this link speed change. We verify the effectiveness of our proposal through simulations in four instances using the WIMNET simulator.
