Abstract(in English) A Wireless Internet-access Mesh Network (WIMNET) can provide a scalable Internet-access network by using multiple access point (APs) connected through wireless communications. In previous studies, we proposed a clustering algorithm for efficiently composing large scale WIMNET by partitioning the APs into a set of clusters. For this algorithm, we assume that any link has a constant speed, although our preliminary experiments found that the link speed is greatly changed by the link distance and interferences for the new high-speed IEEE802.11n protocol that has recently become popular. In this paper, we extend the clustering algorithm in considering the link speed change for effectively introducing IEEE802.11n to WIMNET. We verify the effectiveness of our proposal through simulations in grid topology instances using the WIMNET simulator.
