WLAN Design: A Distributed Approach

The complex nature of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) design, especially when designing large scale networks underlines the need for an automatic WLAN planning tool. The current approach to WLAN design is ad hoc and can lead to an adverse affect on network and service quality. There has been significant research into optimisation techniques and planning tools, many of which use a centralised optimisation approach that is not scalable especially when designing large scale WLAN. The research presented in this paper proposes an approach to WLAN design that is fully distributed based on a scalable optimisation technique. The proposed approach uses elements of Artificial Intelligence and Game Theory to design a viable WLAN regardless of the environment size.
