Abstract
This paper proposes association algorithm using load balancing for efficient AP selection under environment of wireless local area network(WLAN). Our scheme measures arrival time of association information when establishing the connection between access points and access terminal, analyzes the load condition of AP, and applies load balancing. AT selects and sets up low traffic AP by measuring traffic of connected access terminal, which can prevent over-franc of access points under hotspot environment that users access simultaneously. According to the above-described selection in a high speed wireless Internet service based on public WLAN technologies that are currently in operations. Further, it is possible to improve the efficiency of network management.
