Simulation on wireless interference

With the large deployment of the IEEE 802.11 technology as a universal standard for wireless LANs, the need for the efficient management of access points and associated stations became paramount to the efficient use of available network capacity and provision of acceptable QoS guarantees. In this proposal, we propose a load management system in 802.11 networks. The system supports a reactive load distribution algorithm. Load distribution relies on the system capacity to locally reorganize the network by dynamically re-allocating stations to the different access points. The system is based on the Channel Utilization Estimate (CUE) as a load metric. The main purpose of our proposition takes into account the interference factor in the calculation of the CUE. We evaluate our system using a VoIP application use case.
