| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | We have studied WIMNET (Wireless Internet-access Mesh NETwork) as a flexible and inexpensive large-scale access network to the Internet. WIMNET is composed of multiple access points (APs) as wireless routers, where each AP has multihop wireless connections with others by the wireless distribution system (WDS). In WIMNET, communications between APs can become the bottleneck due to their multihop link activations. Besides, the link quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls in indoor environments. Thus, the proper allocation of APs is essential, such that the maximum hop count between APs should be minimized while any host in the field must be covered by at least one AP. In this paper, we formulate this AP allocation problem in indoor environments for WIMNET. Then, we present its three-stage heuristic algorithm composed of the initial AP allocation, the AP allocation optimization, and the association host optimization. The effectiveness of our approach is verified through extensive simulations using our WIMNET simulator. |
