IEEE 802.11 INTRA-WLAN Load Balancing Algorithm for Network Performance Improvement

Iulian Ilies, Radu A. Munteanu, Mihai Munteanu
Abstract:
The present work focuses on creating a QoS mechanism (throughput oriented) which will optimally allow integrating applications and traffic parameters in general. This mechanism adapts an organizational model to a technical load balancing model based on Controller “intelligence”. Physical parameters (Antenna Gain, Transmitted Power, RSSI, Bandwidth, and Load) are inputs used for triggering the balancing mechanism which will increase the WLAN throughput value. The experimental results show the proposed algorithm can improve the network throughput up to 50% compared to algorithms using number of users as “triggering” factor.
