In this paper, a mechanism for supporting Quality of Service in wireless networks through the dynamic reselection of Access Points (APs) according to a terminal based load balancing scheme is presented. The mechanism is analyzed, and a corresponding implementation on laptops is presented, while evaluation through both simulation and actual field trials are included. Implementation refers to both Linux...
