Motivation
As 802.11 deployment and use become ubiquitous, it becomes increasingly important to make efficient use of the bandwidth provided. Unfortunately, 802.11's current access point selection model fails to enable efficient use of access point bandwidth. We discuss why the current 802.11 access point selection model fails, and evaluate alternative models via simulation. Our results indicate that with a small amount of enhanced functionality, 802.11 access point selection can be vastly improved.
