Abstract—This paper discusses a throughput improvement
based dynamic load balancing approach for wireless LANs.
The proposed scheme checks each AP's load state and balances
overloaded APs by immigrating some wireless stations towards
under loaded one, periodically. Each wireless stations has
different throughput with different APs, respectively.
Immigration can be accomplished with considering throughput
value between wireless station and under loaded APs. The
system overload is uniformly distributed among under loaded
cells that wireless stations from overloaded cell moves to most
under loaded cell first. The load balancing algorithm mostly
considers throughput improvement in imbalance state of the
system. Simulation results show that proposed load balancing
yields significant performance gains in terms of system
throughput and data loss due to overloading.
