  For multi-transmission rate environments, access point (AP) connection
methods have been proposed for maximizing system throughput, which is the
throughput of an entire system, on the basis of the cooperative behavior of
users. These methods derive optimal positions for the cooperative behavior of
users, which means that new users move to improve the system throughput when
connecting to an AP. However, the conventional method only considers the
transmission rate of new users and does not consider existing users, even
though it is necessary to consider the transmission rate of all users to
improve system throughput. In addition, these method do not take into account
the frequency of interference between users. In this paper, we propose an AP
connection method which maximizes system throughput by considering the
interference between users and the initial position of all users. In addition,
our proposed method can improve system throughput by about 6% at most compared
to conventional methods.
