There has been widespread deployment of IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (LANs) because of high demand from mobile terminals, such as iPod and Android terminals. With the increasing energy consumption of the wireless LANs, the development of power saving technologies incorporated into the wireless LANs have become important. In wireless LANs, access points (APs) continuously consume the power regardless of the communication. Therefore, we have proposed the Radio-On-Demand (ROD) wireless LAN, which provides power saving schemes on the basis of the utilization of wireless LANs. In this study, we particularly focus on the power saving scheme of the APs, and propose the decentralized association management of ROD wireless LANs. In our scheme, an AP assigns associated stations (STAs) to new APs before switching to sleep mode. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can realize sufficient power saving.
