Sažetak
Distribution of load among multiple access points, and therefore, optimizing the total throughput is one of the problems of wireless local area networks when there is more than one access point available in the network. It is not easy to balance the load when wireless hosts associate with one access point by using only the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). In this study, a new model which increases total throughput in a wireless local area network is proposed. The proposed model is mainly based on the prediction of the loads of all the available access points checking both their wireless and Ethernet interfaces and the association to the least loaded one. It is a host-based model and does not require any changes on the network infrastructure. The tests performed on the real wireless local area networks prove the applicability of the proposed model.
