Achieving Improved Performance at Access Point in WLAN Infrastructure Mode

In recent years WLAN is projecting itself as alternate solution to carry out enterprise’s network traffic. The basic mode of WLAN is classified as ad-hoc mode and infrastructure mode. Infrastructure mode use wired network as backbone. The enterprise WLAN network design preferred infrastructure mode which assume as extension to wired network. The wireless access point is major component of infrastructure mode. As demand for every type of traffic increases in WLAN, how access point handles this traffic grabs equal attention. Study of access point varies at different layers such as location of access point at physical layer, queuing mechanism of access point at Mac layer. In this paper we discus role of access point in handling WLAN traffic and shortcoming of existing approach. In this paper alternative approach for access point is suggested to approve network performance using learning method. KeywordsAccess point, Access Point Management, Access Point Firmware
