Abstract
무선랜 환경에서 사용자 데이터 수신율은 RSS (received signal strength) 뿐만 아니라 AP (access point)의 채널 경합 수준에 의하여 결정된다. 그러나 현재 사용자 단말은 AP로부터의 RSS를 기반으로 접속할 AP를 선정하므로 IPTV 서비스의 최소한의 요구사항을 보장할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 IEEE 802.11 표준에 대한 수정없이 무선랜 환경에서 IPTV 서비스 요구사항을 만족시킬 수 있는 효율적인 AP 선택 기법을 제안한다. 사용자 단말은 주변 AP들의 채널 경합 수준과 현재 진행중인 IPTV 서비스의 품질을 모니터링 함으로써, 서비스 품질이 일정이하로 떨어지면 AP 부하정도가 가장 작은 AP로 재접속함으로써 IPTV 서비스의 최소한의 요구사항을 제공하도록 하였다. In a WLAN, the data reception rate of a user station depends not only on the received signal strength (RSS) from an AP (Access Point) but also on the contention level of the AP. However, since only the RSSs measured at the physical layer have been used for a station to select an AP to associate with, the station may not satisfy the minimum quality requirements necessary for a seamless IPTV service. Thus, in this paper, we propose an AP selection method to support quality requirements of the IPTV service in a wireless LAN without modifying the IEEE 802.11 standard. A user station keeps monitoring a contention level of APs around it and a quality of an ongoing IPTV service. If the quality deteriorates below a threshold, the station reassociates with another AP having the least load so that the ongoing IPTV program is played without disruption.
