Enhancing Cellular Coverage Quality by Virtual Access Point and Wireless Power Transfer

Algorithm 3

UE association for VAP.

Run at any virtual access point (VAP)

Input:

Output:

  Broadcast a requesting packet for member association at its maximum transmission power

  Set the timer as

  while the timer does not expire do

    If receive a respond packet for member association from any node (e.g.,  ) then

    Add to

    Send a confirmation package to node

    End if

  End while

Run at any node

Input: null

Output: null

  If receive a requesting packet for member association from any VAP (e.g.,  ) then

    and

   Set the timer as

   while the timer does not expire do

    If receive a requesting packet for member association from any VAP (e.g.,  ) then

     If    then    and    End if

     End if

   End while

   Send a respond packet for member association to the VAP

   If receive a confirmation package from the VAP   then

     mark itself as the member of the VAP  

   End if

  End if
