↑ Deployment density of WLANs ↑ # of APs deployed around userChallenge of high-density WLANs: Effective management of APs Optimize users’ throughputThroughput depends on: -Load of AP -Channel conditions to AP -Load of other devices within its sensing rangeChallenge of effective network management: -AP association balancing load of each AP -Channel selection balancing load in each channel throughput

AP-centric NM framework ( Traditional)- Exclusively AP one-side control the transmission & None that relate to users
- NM procedures: simple + workable - Helpless to enhance the throughput - Not suitable Differentiated access priorities Support
different QoSUser-centric NM framework (Proposed) -The WLAN management is sharing pipeline btw users & APs - Maximize users’ throughput - Optimize AP aggregate throughput and dynamic APs’ channel
selection -Network conditions & access priority considered by two NM activities -User actively senses the network condition & delivers the sensed
results with its access priority to the AP candidates

AP-centric V.S. User-centric
NM framework
5
• AP periodically delivers config info to neighboring users
• Configuration Info: channel, data rate, MAC etc.AP Sends Beacon
• User actively collects network data (user’s network snapshot)
• Sends to all candidate APs in its receiving range
User Sends Channel Condition to AP
• AP calculates potential throughput and return to user
• Association Response Frame
AP computes potential throughput
• User selects and sends a new request to the AP with the max potential throughput &AP reply and store user’s info
• A new association established
User joins the AP with the most potential throughput
• AP Periodically updates snapshots and performance of associated users
• A new association triggered
AP optimizes channel selection according to
user data

Throughput ↓as # of users ↑.
Throughput of the user with high access priority is greater than that with low access priority.

Effect of Access Priority
8
AP-associated based on the user-centric NM framework always outperforms other frameworks
25%-90% throughput gain

Throughput Comparison
9
User-centric management provides highest throughput – max 69.3%
As the APs get saturated with load, the throughput becomes similar for all the system.

Throughput Comparison – Channel Selection
10
C : {0,1} = mapping factor for the lower bound
CR > 1 = constant for leveraging improvement degree
As the lower bound increases throughput decreases
As the improvement degree increases throughput increases
But, if both lower bound and improvement degree increases throughput decreasesUser-Centric Management of Wireless LANs - Y. Zhu, Q.

Impact of Dual-Threshold on Throughput
11
Fault management------detect & correct associations
e.g. AP association triggered by user Configuration management------sharing
pipeline info beacon frame by AP periodically snapshot by user Accounting management Performance management—measure &
record AP calculates the potential throughput to user user records collected info by snapshot Increased NM traffic Security management Security Vulnerability – can be prone to attack via
fake user snapshots.

Traditional WLAN management system × can’t optimize users’ throughput ∵ ineffectively utilize the network conditions
The user-centric network management framework takes maximizing the throughput of users as the
fundamental principle provides an effective infor. sharing pipeline btw users & APs
assist the key network management activities
Theoretical analysis user-centric NM framework provide complete informationattaining the optimization of NM activities
The simulation results throughputs can be significantly ↑ in NM activities over user-centric frameworkUser-Centric Management of Wireless LANs - Y. Zhu, Q.
