چکیده

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have become increasingly popular over the last number of years. During this time, user requirements have evolved, resulting in a more diverse mix of services being carried over the radio interface. In particular, delay sensitive real-time applications such as streaming multimedia and voice over wireless IP are growing in importance. The widely accepted IEEE 802.11b standard however, was not designed with such Quality of Service (QoS) constraints in mind. A new draft of the standard named 802.11e has been specified that deals with QoS issues for Wireless LANs. This work looks at this enhancement and will attempt to improve the quality that a user will receive by balancing the load between various access points while changing the coverage area of each access point, a technique commonly known as cell breathing.

Cell Breathing for Load Balancing in Wireless Lan

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are now commonly available on many academic and corporate Campuses [1]. Load balancing is necessary to improve the network performance. The load may be unevenly distributed across a small number of Access points in the WLAN. In this paper, the load of AP is balanced using load balancing algorithm utilizing Cell breathing technique. Cell breathing is a techni...

Wireless LAN load balancing with genetic algorithms

In recent years IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) have become increasingly popular. Consequently, there has also been a surge in the number of end-users. The IEEE 802.11 standards do not provide any mechanism for load distribution and as a result user quality of service (QoS) degrades significantly in congested networks where large numbers of users tend to congregate in the same ...

QoS Analysis of IEEE 802.11/802.11e MAC Protocols

IEEE802.11 working group has provided an enhancement to previous IEEE802.11 WLAN standard designated as IEEE802.11e to offer improved quality of service (QoS) to multimedia and other real time applications. The focus of this work is to analyze and compare the QoS performance of IEEE802.11e and IEEE802.11 WLAN medium access protocols. Latency, Throughput and Packet Loss Ratio are used as basic Q...

AP Selection Algorithm for Real-Time Communications through Mixed WLAN Environments

Recent rapid development of high-speed wireless access technologies has created mixed WLAN (Wireless LAN) environments where QoS capable APs coexist with legacy APs. To provide QoS guarantee in this mixed WLAN environment, this paper proposes a new AP selection algorithm. The proposed algorithm assigns an STA (Station) to an AP in the overall WLAN service area. Simulation results show improveme...
