Abstract: Nowadays, wireless LAN has become the most widely deployed technology in mobile devices for providing Internet access. As a result, WLAN users usually find themselves covered by multiple access points and have to decide which one to associate with. In traditional implementations, most wireless stations would select the access point with the strongest signal, regardless of traffic load on that access point, which might result in heavy congestion and unfair load. In this paper, we propose a novel on-line association algorithm to deal with any sequence of STAs during a long-term time such as one day.
