However wireless communication has some problems compared to conventional wired communication. Especially if widely used Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications are taken into consideration it becomes an important issue to balance the load among available access points. It is impossible to balance the load when wireless hosts associate with an access point by using the classical approach of Received Signal Strength Index (RSSI). Some solutions containing a central server requiring a specific brand of access point or protocol revisions have been proposed previously but none of them has been favored as a generally accepted solution. In this study a proposal which is central server free and requires no modifications to the existing infrastructure is presented. The proposed model is based on a dynamic determination of the least loaded access point to associate with in order to balance load and maximize throughput. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
