An access-point selection algorithm for user QoS and system optimization based on user cooperative moving

We propose an optimal access-point (AP) selection algorithm for maximizing system throughput while preserving newly arrived-user throughput. In our algorithm, newly arrived users cooperate with a wireless area network system they are trying to use, i.e., they are willing to move toward an appropriate AP. We use our algorithm to determine the optimal AP. Moreover, we discuss the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm by using numerical analysis.
