Abstract

In Cooperative WLAN scenarios, the lack of a centralized management, the existence of many administrative domains and the current association process in wireless networks make it difficult to guarantee the quality that users expect from services and networks. We present Gossipmule, an agent for wireless nodes that enhances the QoE perceived by users in Cooperative WLANs. Gossipmule uses mobile Crowdsensing between the wireless nodes to collect and disseminate information regarding the network. This information is used by the agent to have a more assertive association when making decisions regarding the user-AP association.
