Call admission control (CAC) on AP selection problem over 802.11 WLAN is a critical issue. In the existing architecture, strongest\u2010signal\u2010first is the default AP selection mechanism in 802.11 WLAN which uses the single criterion, received signal strength indicator, to select AP. However, this method suffers from bandwidth deficiency and unbalanced load among APs due to the uneven distribution of user load, thus degrading the system throughput. Instead, the purpose of this paper is to propose a multi\u2010criteria CAC on AP selection algorithms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The distributed multi\u2010criteria considered in order are RSSI, minimum required bandwidth of WSTA, estimated effective bandwidth (EEB) and AP\u2010WSTA distance. A semiMarkov model considering both packet retransmission limit, packet error rate and collision effect is proposed to predict the system throughput and validated through simulation results. Two multi\u2010criteria AP selection algorithms after EEB is evaluated are proposed and compared based on this analytical model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The proposed algorithms outperform the traditional SSF algorithm in terms of the balance index for AP and the average system throughput.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/valve<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper presents performance analysis for multi\u2010criteria CAC for distributed access point selection in WLANs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/17427370710856228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,16]],"date-time":"2008-02-16T07:03:39Z","timestamp":1203145419000},"page":"257-273","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Performance analysis of multi\u2010criteria CAC for distributed access point selection in WLANs"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"I\u2010Shyan","family":"Hwang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Chien\u2010An","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022020920131914800_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Balachandran, A., Voelker, G.M. and Bahl, P.
