Usage time limiting technique for supporting a large number of users in Wi-Fi network

Currently IEEE 802.11n is widely adopted standard with a large number of users in each service area. The large number of users can significantly degrade the overall system performance and availability of the system. In this paper, the usage time limiting technique for supporting a large number of users in Wi-Fi network has been proposed. The simulation results reveal that with the suitable threshold value for cutting off certain users who utilize the network for long period, the system can support more incoming users by scarifying low amount of usage time of the heavy users.
