Proposal for a new method to alleviate traffic congestion in Wireless Mesh Network

Services utilizing wireless LANs as communication infrastructure are drawing much attention these days. However, access points (APs) of existing wireless LANs are in most cases connected with wires and it is fairly expensive to install APs. Wireless mesh network is one of the ways to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the communication quality of wireless mesh network by having stations select the most appropriate AP according to the traffic condition of APs.
