Interference Management Mechanism in Next Generation Dense WLAN

doi:10.16182/j.issn1004731x.joss.18-0065

Abstract

Abstract: Aiming at the unfairness and low throughput in a wireless local area network with dense access points and terminals deployment, a user-centered resource allocation method which can configure the specific channel and power level for each user is proposed. This method can maximize the network throughput while ensuring the minimum throughput requirement for each user. The proposed interference management mechanism and user identification method can be easily implemented in the current wireless local area network system. Simulation results show that the proposed resource allocation scheme enhances about 47.3% throughput to a basic service set. In particular, 190% improvement can be achieved for the basic service set which suffers the most severe interference. The average throughput of edge users in each basic service set can increase 74.3%.

Key words: high efficiency wireless local area network, overlapping basic service set, interference management, power control, user-centric
