Scalable and Robust WLAN Connectivity Using Access Point Array

Overview With the enormous economies of scale of Wireless LAN (WLAN) hardware, the price of commodity WLAN access points has dropped to the level that is even cheaper than some WLAN adapters. This paper proposes to put together an array of off-the-shelf access points, each operating at a different radio frequency, to build a super access point that can both scale up the overall sustained throughput and improve the robustness of WLAN connectivity in the presence of failures and denial-of-service attacks. The key enabling technology for the proposed access point array architecture is a dynamic load balancing mechanism that can adaptively adjust the association between stations and access points so as to distribute the traffic load among the array's channels.
