Millimeter-wave communication in 60 GHz band is considered a promising technology to meet the explosive growth of data demand in Wi-Fi based WLAN. To address potential blockage for 60 GHz signals, multiple APs are proposed for such WLAN. This paper addresses the important problem of AP assignment and transmission scheduling for a multi-AP 60 GHz WLAN. We propose two AP assignment schemes with different complexity and study how to maximize user throughput with joint consideration of AP assignment and transmission scheduling. We advocate to use one-shot AP assignment-based scheduling due to its simplicity for implementation. To address real-time online traffic and human blockage, we propose an online algorithm to implement the one-shot AP assignment scheme without altering the AP assignment for other existing users. Through performance evaluation, we show that the proposed online algorithm is competitive when compared to the offline algorithm. |
