AbstractFor multi-transmission rate environments, access point (AP) connection methods have been proposed for maximizing system throughput, which is the throughput of an entire system, on the basis of the cooperative behavior of users. These methods derive optimal positions for the cooperative behavior of users, which means that new users move to improve the system throughput when connecting to an AP. However, the conventional method only considers the transmission rate of new users and does not consider existing users, even though it is necessary to consider the transmission rate of all users to improve system throughput. In addition, these method do not take into account the frequency of interference between users. In this paper, we propose an AP connection method which maximizes system throughput by considering the interference between users and the initial position of all users. In addition, our proposed method can improve system throughput by about 6% at most compared to conventional methods.
