An Algorithm for Improving Network Throughput of Wireless Distribution System

Abstract

Throughput of wireless packet transfer generally depends on the signal strength of wireless communication. The architecture of Wireless Distribution System (WDS) in an IEEE 802.11-based environment can avoid the decline of wireless signals and keep the data packet throughput by delivering packets among access points. This paper focuses on WDS and proposes an algorithm of Maximum Independent Set (MIS) to determine the subset of access points and reduce its computation time for wireless data packet transmission and achieving throughput improvement.
